Stray dogs outside one’s home

Answered by 

Q: Outside my home sometimes stray dog/dogs sit in front of my home for sleeping purposes or just sitting. So I have heard that we should not allow them in front of our home and shoo them away. Is it true?

Bismillaah

A: The malaa’ikah of mercy do not come to the home where there are dogs. Hence, keep them at a distance away from your home.

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