Islamic traditions from the Hadith prohibit Islamists from owning or engaging with dogs, with certain exceptions. Not only are dogs abhorred but they are brutally killed.

It is important to understand that no PETA, Human Society, SPCA, animal rights or rescue groups exist in Islamic countries.

No legal protections against animal cruelty exist in Islamic countries where the common practice is killing dogs and puppies with acid injections. Acid chemically burns and destroys internal organs and tissues while also causing extreme metabolic disturbance (acidosis) and brutally, painfully kills the animal.

It is legal, encouraged, and widely practiced to torture and kill dogs in the manner evidenced in the video below.


In Sahih Al-Bukhari Volume 7, Book 77, Hadith 843, Islamists are warned, “Angels will not enter a house that contains a dog …” .

However, Islamists can own dogs if they are used as guard dogs, hunting dogs, or shepherd dogs. According to Sahih Al-Bukhari, Volume 7, Book 67, Hadith 389, “Anyone who keeps a dog merely as a pet, and not a hunting or guard dog, shall have two Qirats [prayer readings] deducted every day from his accumulated good deeds.”

Additionally– owners must wash out their dog’s water dish seven times because a dog’s saliva is considered unclean. This instruction is found in Abu Huraira in Sahih Al-Bukhari, Volume 1, Book 4, Hadith 173: “Allah’s Apostle said, ‘If a dog drinks from the utensil of anyone of you it is essential to wash it seven times.’”

For example, the perspective taught is that, “Allah knows best; dogs carry diseases in their saliva.”



Another tradition records an incident when Muhammad commanded his followers to kill all dogs on sight. He later relented on the condition of “all.” From Sahih Muslim, Book 10, Hadith 3813, Jabir bin Abdullah explains:
“Allah’s Messenger … ordered us to kill dogs, and we carried out this order so much so that we also killed a dog coming with a woman from the desert. Then Allah’s Apostle … forbade their killing. He [the Holy Prophet further] said: ‘It is [however] your duty to kill the jet-black [dog] having two spots [on the eyes], for it is a devil.’”
However, most scholars argue that the Qur’an contains no negative instructions about the treatment of dogs. Any ongoing mistreatment of dogs today is traditional or cultural.


In two chapters, Surah XVIII, The Cave, and Surah V, The Food, dogs are mentioned several times but not once in a derogatory way. Also, there are no instructions in the Qur’an to kill dogs.
However, the fact remains that “moderate Muslims” and Shari’a law provide no protections for dogs from being tortured and killed from acid injections. And the same is true for people.
Several Islamic countries enforce a hijab dress code only for women, and violators are punished with “acid attacks.”

Extra-judicial enforcement of hijab rules includes what human rights activists call “Vigilante Violence,” or acid attacks. Numerous incidents have been reported of unidentified men “flinging acid into the faces of women with whom they had no history of personal grudges.” Assailants claim they were defending hijab.

If not killed, those leaving Islam and/or have converted to Christianity are also attacked with acid.

Acid is an inexpensive available weapon of choice Islamists use not just on dogs but also on people.
