why owning A dog as a pet is haram?

[Oneeye]

I'm not a dog person at all. My mom is and her house smells of dog. Everything is geared towards dogs. Blankets all over the floor. The one dog is very old, so it pees in the house. It's not the dog's fault because I'll probably also lose control of my bladder when I'm that old but it's horrible. The two mutts are sweet but I prefer to admire them from a distance.

What I like about cats is that they don't have this overpowering smell that dogs have. And they are more independent. They do their own thing. My one gets very sticky sometimes but not nearly as emotionally dependent as a dog.

Some houses with cats do smell. Perhaps it is easier to upkeep after them to prevent that, but cat pee in carpets smells awful.

Cats don't piss around if you supply them a box with cat litter, and keep it clean, their predatory instinct says them to hide their wastes, so that they don't leave around their smell, with a litter, they 100% of times will dig a deep hole and cover it when they have finished.

I think dogs require more upkeep generally. I have owned both dogs and cats, and cats don't require much except that you keep their litter clean, or the smell of their piss and whatnot will overpower the house. Female cats don't have pungent smell to them.

Hamsters stink like crap though. I hate hamsters.

I have a female cavalier king charles spaniel and it's more like a cat than a dog. Very well behaved.

give me a logic explaination

You're speaking of islam and you want logic?

It's not haram.

It's more of a nuisance. Contact with dogs makes one ritually impure, requiring a full ghusl instead of just wudu before the next prayer.

You don't need full ghusl. You just have to wash the place the dog licked 7 times, the first time with soil.

It all depends on which Islamic school you're talking to.

Some sufis made it a point to befriend and feed dogs.

Lol. Naturally tomcats will spray. And many with health issues also spray.

My two are females. The worst thing about cats is the smell of pee, but mine go do their thing outside in the garden. I don't have carpets in my house, so any accidents (which are very rare) are on a tiled floor.
