What afflicts a garment from the impurity of a dog (urine or feces) must be washed seven times, one of them with earth, according to the Hanbalis and Shafi'is, contrary to the Malikis. This includes all parts of the dog and their moisture. As for what afflicts game from a dog, it is not obligatory to wash it, according to the preponderant opinion of the scholars, because the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, did not command that. Washing the dog's mouth before sending it after game is useless because its impurity is intrinsic and cannot be purified.
