Does furniture, food, and household utensils become impure if a husband touches them after directly handling a dog without cleaning his hands or changing his clothes?

The husband should be advised that owning a dog for no benefit decreases his reward by one qirat every day, and this advice should be given with wisdom. The impurity of a dog does not transfer if the husband's hand or clothes are dry. However, if they are wet and you are certain of the dog's impurity, then whatever it touched must be washed. The general rule is purity unless impurity is certain.
