The answer

It is forbidden to sell dogs unless it is for the purpose of hunting or guarding, because the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, forbade the price of a dog. It is also forbidden to work in their sale, and the earnings obtained from it must be disposed of by spending them on the welfare of Muslims. As for selling dogs for the purpose of hunting or guarding, it is permissible according to the most probable opinion. If the shop combines forbidden and permissible sales, and the forbidden cannot be avoided, then working there is forbidden and must be abandoned. The forbidden part of the earnings must be disposed of by spending it on the welfare of Muslims.
