Question:
Assalamu Alaikum,
Just wanted to know, if I was to keep a dog for guarding and for farming purposes, I would keep it outside in its kennel but when really rough winter comes with knee-high snow and -18 degrees celcius temperatures, is it permissable for the dog to come into the house? But only in one area away from the rest of the household?
JazakAllah Khair!
Answer:
wa `alaykum salam,
No. The dog should stay outside; make a small shack for him.
