Is keeping turtles as pets in the home forbidden (haram), and do they cause impurity (najasa) like dogs, and can they be a reason for the presence of spirits or jinn in the home?

The answer

The droppings and urine of a turtle are pure (tahir) because its meat is permissible to eat. Keeping it at home does not cause impurity, and it is not forbidden to keep it if the owner provides for its needs. Dreams cannot be linked to keeping a turtle, as nothing can be built upon dreams, and they are either from Allah or from Satan.
