Dogs and Photographs

The Holy Prophet Muhammad (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) has stated: "Angels of Mercy do not enter that house in
which there are dogs and Photographs (of living objects)".

To keep dogs, without reason, but as pets, is disallowed and to take photographs without a valid reason, is also Haraam. To
keep a dog for the protection of an orchard, a farm, a business, your house, etc. is permissible. When keeping dogs even for
this reason, utmost precaution is necessary. To keep money, postal stamps, passport, I.D. document, etc on which there are
pictures of living objects, due to necessity, is allowed
