Honestly, i dont know what to update for this.
Haha!
But this is something i think people should know.
Dogs.
Yeah.
Hehe.
I just came back from my religious class today and found out something interesting.
Muslims are allowed to KEEP dogs.
Yep.
Basically, what my Ustaz(religious teacher) told me,
Is that it was stated in the Quran.
Dogs can be kept in the household to guard the house, or to hunt.
Its just that, Muslims can't touch the saliva of the dog.
Why?
The dog's saliva contains a lot of bacteria.
Let's say the dog licks your plate.
You try to wash it off with detergent and soap.
The bacteria will still be there.
Apparently if you were going to use detergent or soap,
Only the INDUSTRIAL ones are strong enough.
Wait!
Then how to remove the bacteria?
Use soil.
Yep.
Soil.
Amazingly, soil dissolves the bacteria.
My Ustaz told me that a test was conducted.
It does work.
Its just that the test findings aren't published.
Okay.
So what's my point of saying all this?
Well, we have the misconception that Muslims can't touch dogs or even keep them.
We actually can.
But, if you do keep a dog IN the house, the angels won't enter it.
Anyway, there's also another misconception where we can't touch dogs which are WET.
As in, we can definitely touch the fur.
But what if its wet?
Well, sure. Still can touch.
Just don't touch the saliva and the nose.
Hahaha!
If it does happen, well, you got to get soil to clean up yourself.
Which can be a little troublesome.
Heheh.
Hope this clears misconceptions.
I was surprised myself.
Haha. Peace!
