ermm...how to say this clearly to u eh.in islam..we have our own way to make sure that ourselves clean esp to pray.it is better to samak just to make sure that u are really clean to pray.or else ur pray will be sia2 or not sah/valid(sah dlm bahasa english is valid ke eh?)

i know that touching a dry dog is not wrong.but sometimes..just to make sure that we are really clean..we have to samak.we also need to samak after we clean up the wee or poo.

just to make it simple..dog is not haram when they are dry..u can touch them.but the saliva/poo/wee is a big no no and need to samak.

pig however cannot be touched either it is dry or wet (special case la to doc).

and samak is not just wash with ordinary soap.that is just washing..not samak.u can google what is samak is all about

[lynielime]

i've heard that samak soap can be purchased at SPCA

Dear Mr. Eff, a big congratulations to you on the newly adopted kitten!

Like you, I am pleased to see the types of replies you are getting to your dog question. Rational, calm, reasoned answers. YAY!

As for me, I agree with what Ezer wrote about each individual's observance of his religion. I know Muslims who drink alcohol and Christians who never set foot inside a church. In my opinion, that's between every person and the Almighty.

One thought, though: How might your Muslim friends and family feel about visiting your home if you keep a dog? Your social life could become rather, um, quiet... Or, it may be that your friends feel the same about dogs as you do. In that case, no problems! Just something to consider...

Heaven knows, there's no shortage of dogs looking for good homes!

well,i think i shud be more careful with any physical contact with dog.and as much as i love 'em,there are certain limitations that i have to respect.

i went to Yasmin Ahmad's (the moviemaker) blog and she had his own opinion on this which really interesting.

note : just adopt a kitten from SPCA yesterday!

sabun samak (sabun taharah) ade jual kat both dalam tesco, care4... both orang jual jamu...

mia slalu buat stock sabun samak ni sebab senang nak samak bila pegang anjing kat event/paws... harga dia RM5.90

kalau nak beli kena bagi tau sabun samak sebab taharah ada banyak sabun... mia beli kat midvalley

To Nurkasih, ppl who let their dog simply roam and kacau other ppl, be it in a vets place or a petshop is pretty inconsiderate, and not just because you are Muslim. If someone has a cat, OBVIOUSLY they shouldn't let their dog disturb them, what if it chases the cat, and something happens? Or what if the cat gives the dog a nasty scratch on the nose? If both animals weren't caged or chained, what if they both chase each other out of the clinic? For them to say you don't like it because you are Muslim is stupid. When in a vets, I personally don't like people to simply touch my dog, or for strange dogs to come and sniff my dog. Because the main reason we go there is when our pets are sick, and touching by humans or dogs may spread disease. Even if we go for vaccinations, it usually means the vacc time is running out, and after a vaccination our pets may feel sick/vulnerable for a day or two. So no touchy touchy tyvm. Plus my dog bites :D

Sashy,you are right.But there's another factor that annoyed me.huh!! Have you seen people bring their cat inside a box or just hold it on their hands?? stupid isn't it?? What happen if the dogs bark?? The cat will just jump and run any direction.how to catch them back?? I heard story from Klinik Kembiri,this 1 lady brought her Persian cat to the clinic for spaying. One bark from the dog,the cat jumped and run to the thick bushes. The owner and friends tried to find the cat for hours but no sign of of the cat. I dunno what happened after that. I think the story teller also doesn't know what happen.

June, agree!
ANY animal that is brought to an outside place should be leashed or kept in a proper carrier. Its not about being cruel to the animal, but about the animals safety
I also have seen in Pet Safari, some people bring their pets there for I dont know what reason, just let it run among the crowd. What if say, an elderly person gets a surprise cuz the puppy is running heedlessly (its a happy dog, so it runs around), and falls? Or if someone mean kicks your dog? What are you doing to do, scold the person? So what, your dog has already been kicked upside down. Better be safe than sorry
What if your tiny pup decides to play with a big husky, who happens to be sick, and cranky?

Maneki,

yea..thanks!shes sooo cute! ;P

neway,thanks for ur opinion.i think ur ryte,despite the limitations for muslim there are other things that hv to take into consideration like your family,friend etc

but i think,its save for me just to visit dogs from SPCA or PAWS once in a while and play with them

[Sashy]

Giving those animals some love and human attention is a good thing to do :)

And this is the same with my Christian friends.. not a single one i know is 100% compliant with the Bible..

so, if you ask me personally, well, it's always up to you, as an individual to do what you think is best.

It's all about personal choice! That's my philosophy of life!

I like this reply. It's always up to you, noone is 100% compliant with their religion and this is really common. (Just like I'm eating beef when I'm Buddhist and some people smoking when they're Muslims) Well I do hope this is a peaceful discussion and noone shall turn it into religious fight.

If you don't take the samak thing after you feed them or touch them as a big deal to perform, it should be fine.

I'm a vet student, and for everyone's knowledge, Malays are majority in the class. They are willing to samak after everything they've done with the dogs everyday during their stay in SPCA. I clap for them.

Conclusion is, it's personal and it's all up to your wish. Complaints and whatnot can be nothing if you can manage them well.
Peace to the world!

These are fotos of a Malaysian Malay guy
He started with a mongrel dog whom he rescued fr a drain 30 years ago when he was onli a 7 years old boy.

Since then he kept dogs, and 6 years ago he bought a 2 acres land at Kg Kadang Baik near Genting Highland for his dogs below:-


35 Rottweilers
12 French Mustiffs
5 Shetland Sheepdogs
2 Chihuahuas
1 Min Pin

He is now a SAS member, and planning to adopt 20 more strays.

Below taken from a web page:-



Datin Nariza- contoh terbaik seorang Datin…sifat penyayang terhadap haiwan terutama anjing begitu terserlah , rasa rasa saya negara kita Malaysia memerlukan lebih banyak insan seperti Datin Nariza yang begitu prihatin and ambil berat terhadap kebajikan anjing dan isu isu Orang Melayu di Malaysia yang senantiasa anti anjing dan mendera serta berlaku kejam perhadap anjing….

Cuba kita sama sama lihat photo Datin Nariza mendukung anak anjing yang comel ini…kalau lah mak mak datin satu Malaya ada sifat kasihan dan penyayang seperti Datin nariza, the world would be a better place for everyone…including dogs…tapi yerla, mak mak datin yg lain akan kata, mana kelesssss untuk simpati dan tulong binatang mcm anjing nie..bagus kita gi high tea kat hotel sambil gossip gossip, tak pun kita gi spa and facial….so the diva…..
