Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Dogs are a nation among nations. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, commanded the killing of the black dog because it is a devil. It is permissible to kill a dog if it causes harm and injury to people, as the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "There should be no harm nor reciprocating harm."
