This thread seems perfectly suitable for that, I think.

No. Dogs are not seen like pigs. Islam teaches us that pigs are unclean and sinful to touch. Dogs arent given a rank as low as this, but the saliva of the dog is also considered impure. But its not a sin. You must simply wash it off, because it's saliva invalidates prayers. And dogs are not to be kept unless they have a purpose.
Heres a source. This website has similar answers to mine. Although, the website itself is Salafi.

No offense, and I’m speaking as an ex-radical traditional Catholic, I’m wary of Salafi soruces.

Abu Talhah said, “The Prophet means by likeness an image of living souls.”
Sunan an-Nasa'i 4284 wrote:It was narrated that Ibn 'Umar said: "The Messenger of Allah said: 'whoever keeps a dog, two Qirats will be detracted from his reward each day, except a trained hunting dog, or a dog for herding livestock."
Mughni Al-Muhtaj 2/342 wrote:It is permissible to keep a dog for hunting or guarding livestock and for farming in addition to raising a puppy for similar purposes.
Sahih Bukhari 3323 wrote:Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Umar: Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) ordered that the dogs should be killed.
Sharh Sahih Muslim wrote:The Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him and grant him peace) ordered that the dogs be killed. Later, he said, ‘What is the matter with them (the Companions) and the dogs?’ This was at the point when they even killed the dog of a bedouin lady who came to Medina with it. He then ordered that only the black dogs should be killed, and later the command was restricted to harmful dogs.
Sahih Bukhari 3143 wrote:Abu Huraira reported: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “A prostitute had once been forgiven. She passed by a dog panting near a well. Thirst had nearly killed him, so she took off her sock, tied it to her veil, and drew up some water. Allah forgave her for that.”
Sahih Bukhari 6009 wrote:Abu Huraira reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “A man suffered from thirst while he was walking on a journey. When he found a well, he climbed down into it and drank from it. Then he came out and saw a dog lolling its tongue from thirst and licking the ground. The man said: This dog has suffered thirst just as I have suffered from it. He climbed down into the well, filled his shoe with water, and caught it in his mouth as he climbed up. Then he gave the dog a drink. Allah appreciated his deed, so He forgave him.” They said, “O Messenger of Allah, is there a reward for charity even for the animals?” The Prophet said, “Yes, in every creature with a moist liver is a reward for charity.”

...A hadith narrated by ‘Ā’ishah (may Allah be pleased with her) that was recorded by both Bukhari and Muslim – was the first to establish praying Taraweeh in a congregation inside the mosque. He prayed it that way for about three or four nights, and then stopped doing it, as he explained, because he feared it might become obligatory for his Ummah to pray it in that manner (i.e., inside the mosque and in congregation).

Doesn't the prophet discontinue praying Taraweeh prayers for fear one day that it would become compulsory? It's voluntary lmao
.....also what 5 prayers?

It's okay to touch them so long as you clean yourself up afterwards. I myself love watching dog videos and have no problem with them. I'm more of a cat person tho.

Alhamdulilah, so has our masjid. Although they still are keeping the requirement to wear a mask, the cases in our area have dropped low enough that they are no longer mandating that people bring their own janamaz, and we can pray shoulder to shoulder again.
I am pleasantly surprised that they made this decision. Inshallah, the conditions will be better so that we all can make Hajj next year.Cereskia wrote:Mom told me that Sunah Mu'Akkad stuff is obligatory, from Salat Taraweh, Ngaji, heck, even praying 5 different prayers before sleeping!

Yeah, Taraweh Salat is firmly considered Sunnah. I'm not sure what you mean by praying 5 different prayers before you go to sleep (last 4 Surahs + Ayatul Kursi?). I haven't heard the term Ngaji before either.

In the case of Sri Lanka, I would like to include that Sri Lanka is a very racist country towards Non-Buddhists. Pew Research would have been off fine with writing Muslims, since they make up 15% of the population. I been to Sri Lanka (I went once during the civil war and once after) and although I was too small to understand back then, 10 years later, I look back (to the time we went after the civil war) and understand why they stopped my mother on the streets and ravaged through our stuff. (They took away my mother's deodorant spray). The only reason they went easy on us was because we are Maldivians. I saw it in their faces. When they saw my mother as a Muslim, they were like ready to pound on her, but when my mother told them that she was Maldivian. Their whole behaviour and expressions changed. Suddenly they were friendly, acted as if nothing happened and that it was all good. And they knew they'd get in trouble if they hurt or offended a Maldivian. If it had been anyone else, I cant say what would have taken place.
Sri Lanka's the only country I had a personal encounter like that. Although, that happened. Sri Lanka was very nice and had good time. Except for the fact that I was very sick.
I personally cant say for any other countries, since I've never been there (exception to India). All I know is what I get from the internet and foreign frnds.
