Dealing with Dogs: Tips for Staying Paak

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftionline.co.za

Q: To become paak, what should one do if a dog touches their clothes, what should one do if a dog touches their body (e.g. Foot)?

Bismillaah

A: If the dog’s saliva touches you then the saliva is napaak. That has to be washed out and rinsed thoroughly like in the case of any other impurity.

And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
