Dog . Weather . Qur'an Preservation . Home

Can a guard dog be allowed to stay in a restricted area inside the house due to severe cold weather outside and fear of it running away? And can I interact with the guard dog to teach it obedience and protection so that it can learn to protect my home?

Yes, but it is better if it can stay outside (such as in a dog house, if that is possible on your property; these days, they do have outdoor heaters for animals if that is a possibility).

I am sure you are familiar with the hadith saying that having a dog inside affects acceptance of prayers; Allah knows best. Of course, we are also supposed to be compassionate, and it is not compassionate to let it freeze to death!

Yes you can interact with it and train it.

Yes, be sure to observe taharah for salat and any other necessary things such as dishes.

People have had dogs as work animals for centuries, and even the Ashab al-Kahf had a dog around them. As someone once said, it is not the dog's fault that it is najis!

Bismihi ta'ala

It is always mustahab to perform wajib prayers in congregation. There are many traditions that emphasise on Jama'ah prayers, and how multiplied the reward will be when conducted in congregation.

With the absence of a qualified religious scholar, there will still be a virtue of Jama'ah prayer. In brief, the person who leads should be known for his piety, and also have knowledge of the rulings of prayer.

And Allah knows best.

God (Allah) . Du'a (Supplication) . Home

Is there any dua or aamal while building a new home to get Allah's blessings while living in it and to get good neighbours?

Bismihi ta'ala

A revered scholar had once recommended that Ayatul Kursi be written with safron on 4 pieces of paper, and placed in the earth of four corners of the foundation of the house.

Aim at having the house a hub for dhikr of Allah ta'ala, and to dedicate programs in remembrance of Ahlul Bayt (a.s.). A blessed house in the eyes of Allah ta'ala is a house devoted to serve others, and brings kin together.

Once the house is done, it is recommended to invite people and feed them. Giving Sadaqah is also highly recommended.

Wassalam
