Category: Animal Saliva in Islam
Animal Saliva in Islam ~ Most Muslim scholars agree that in Islam the saliva of a dog is ritually impure and that objects (or perhaps persons) that come into contact with a dog’s saliva require them to be washed seven times. This ruling comes from the hadith:
When the dog licks the utensil, wash it seven times, and rub it with earth the eighth time.
