Dogs and land

Question:

Assalamu Alaikum Sheikh Hisham and Hajja Naziha,
Me, my husband and my family live in the countryside and currently have ducks and chickens. We plan to get goats soon too but also wanted to get a dog for herding and protecting the house purposes. We will be training the dog to sleep outside.
I was wondering if this is permissible? And what suggestions do you make to do on the land???? :)
JazakAllah Khair!

Answer:

wa `alaykum salam,

If the dog is used for hunting or guarding the house from the outside, it is OK. The dog is not allowed inside the house and must be at least 15-20 ft. from the house.
