The things that break wudoo’ are:

1 – Any discharge from the front or back passage (urine, stools, wind, etc.), except for wind emitted from a woman’s front passage – that does not break wudoo’.

2 – Emission of urine or stools from anywhere other than the urethra or anus.

3 – Losing one’s mind, which may mean losing it altogether by losing one’s mental faculties, which is insanity, or by losing it temporarily for a certain length of time for some reason such as sleep, unconsciousness, intoxication, etc.

4 – Touching one’s private part, because of the hadeeth of Basrah bint Safwaan, who heard the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) say: “Whoever touches his penis, let him do wudoo’.” (narrated by Abu Dawood, al-Tahaarah, 154. al-Albaani said in Saheeh Sunan Abi Dawood, no. 166, it is saheeh).

5 – Eating camel meat, because of the hadeeth of Jaabir ibn Samurah, who said that a man asked the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), “Should we do wudoo’ after eating camel meat?” He said, “Yes.” (Narrated by Muslim, al-Hayd, 539).

It should be noted that touching a woman’s body does not break one’s wudoo’, whether that is done with feelings of desire or otherwise, unless anything is emitted as a result of that touching.

So if this is the case, why do many of us hold to the view that getting touched by a dog nullifies the wudoo?? Because to me I don't see any evidence for that.

Aslm alkm, I jst asked n was told dat a dog's touch does not nullifies ur ablution. May Allah guide us right.

It's a myth.

Touching dogs or their saliva does not nullify wudoo’ because if tahaarah is done according to the rules of sharee’ah, nothing can nullify it except things for which there is evidence in sharee’ah. There is no such evidence that touching dogs or their saliva have this effect. It was not mentioned by the scholars among the things that nullify wudoo’.

Ibn Qudaamah mentioned in al-Mughni (1/264) things that nullify wudoo’, and he did not mention touching dogs or their saliva. Then he said: “These are all the things that nullify tahaarah, and it cannot be nullified by anything else according to the view of the majority of scholars…”

But there is no doubt that dogs’ saliva is very dirty and extremely naajis (impure), and it can only be removed by washing seven times, one of them with earth. There is a difference between this and something which nullifies tahaarah. And Allaah knows best.

A/slm Lexiconkabir, what about shocking someone's (Christian) hand? Does it nullify ablution?


On dog, Can a Muslim keep a dog as pet? Can I keep it as security?

Wa aleikom salam, no, that doesnt nullify your wudoo

On dog, Can a Muslim keep a dog as pet? Can I keep it as security?

Yes, you can keep a dog as a security(not as pet), and, don't take it inside your house, because of the prophet's warning that the angel of mercy does not enter the house where there is dog, and also 2 qiraats of your deeds will be removed daily.

And Allah knows best.

@IdisuleOurOwn that reply has been modified, I found an hadith which says:

narrated from Abu Hurayrah (may Allaah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Whoever keeps a dog that is not a dog for hunting, herding livestock or farming, two qiraats will be deducted from his reward each day.” {Muslim 2978}

So from this hadith we can deduce that you can keep a dog as a guard, since you can use it to guard your livestock and crops, this view is a scholarly view, scholars such as Nawawi, ibn uthaymeen, etc....adhere to this view.

And Allah knows best.
