[quote][quote]I have heard this since I was a child that dogs are haram, ..........[/quote]

[blue][font=Century Gothic][b]And I have been hearing right from my childhood that a prostitute went to Paradise because her compassion compelled her to give water to a dog dying of thirst.

Also there is mention in the Qur'an of a dog that was guarding the entrance to the cave where some God fearing men were sleeping.[/b][/font=Century Gothic][/blue]

[quote].........I would like to know why don't angels come into the house where a dog is kept, why is it haram........[/quote]

[blue][font=Century Gothic][b]Here is the Hadith which contains that information:[/b][/font=Century Gothic][/blue]

[black][font=Century Gothic][b]Ibn Maajah (3640) narrated from ‘Ali ibn Abi Taalib (may Allaah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “The angels do not enter a house in which there is a dog or an image.” Classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh Ibn Maajah. [/b] [/font=Century Gothic] [/black]

[blue][font=Century Gothic][b]If someone could throw some light on the historical background in which the Prophet Sallallahu alaihi wasallam made this statement we would be able to arrive at the answer as to which angels dont enter and why.[/b][/font=Century Gothic][/blue]
