Text Box: Q2: Can Muslims raise dogs at home? 穆斯林可以在家養狗嗎？ A: Dogs are the same as other animals――the creatures of Āllah, and we should take care of them and never hurt them. 狗和其它動物一樣都是阿拉的造物，我們要照顧牠們，而且絕對不能傷害牠們。 But in Islam we have some rules and orders from Āllah――the Creator of the whole universe. 但伊斯蘭有一些來自阿拉的規定和命令，祂是全宇宙的造物主。 Āllah told us via His messenger Prophet Muhammed that the saliva of dog is dirty; therefore, when we pray, our bodies, clothes and carpet should not have any dog’s saliva on it. It is the same as eating; our hands, food, and dining wares should not have any dog’s saliva on it. 阿拉透過祂的使者先知穆罕默德告訴我們，狗的唾液是污穢的，因此，當我們禮拜時，我們身體、衣著、拜毯不能沾有任何狗的唾液；用餐也一樣，我們的手、食物和餐具不能沾有一點狗的唾液。 However, if it happened that our body, clothes, carpet, food, or dining wares got stained by their saliva, we need to clean it very well before praying or eating. The cleaning in the past was seven times――the first time using dirt and the other six using water. Nowadays we have strong detergents, so there is no need to use the old method but make sure that it is totally cleaned off. 然而，倘若我們身體、衣著、拜毯、食物或餐具沾到狗的唾液，就必須在禮拜或用餐前將這些地方清洗乾淨。在過去，清洗的步驟有七次，第一次用土清，其他六次用水洗，但今天我們有洗淨力強勁的洗潔精，所以不需使用舊的方式清洗，只要確認唾液已徹底去除就好。 It is not haram to raise dogs at home, but we have to make sure that everything related to praying and eating is cleaned off their saliva before we pray or eat. 家裡養狗並不違反教法，但要確認的是，在禮拜或用餐前，要確認與禮拜和用餐有關的地方已完全沒有沾上狗的唾液。
