SHAFAQNA – The Grand Ayatollah Vahid Khorasani answered a question about uncleanliness (Nijasat) of dogs.
Question: The daughter of my sister in law recently started keeping a dog at home, and certainly you are aware that fantasy dogs freely move everywhere in the house, from bed to kitchen. How can I eat and pray in my sister in law’s house who is the mother of this lady or the house of my mother in law, considering that they do not pay a lot of attention to Taharah (cleanliness) and Najasah (uncleanliness).
The Grand Ayatollah Vahid Khorasani: Wherever you have doubt about Taharah and Najasah, it is adjudged as clean, and the mentioned individuals are adjudged clean; unless you know the dog has been/touched a damp place in which case it is adjudged as Najis (unclean).
