The answer

It is forbidden to keep or raise a dog in the house, except for guard dogs and hunting dogs. The husband should be advised to remove the dog from the house, and reminded of its impurity and the reduction of reward ( اجر) incurred by keeping it. If the husband does not obey, then there is no sin upon the wife, and she is not obliged to kill the dog as long as it is owned by someone else. It is permissible for the dog's owner to kill it if it is vicious or black.
