On Nov. 5, hawker food guru and advocate KF Seetoh put up a Facebook post decrying a man for tying a dog to a halal tray return rack.
Seetoh describes the man as a “big talking selfish retiree”.
When confronted by Seetoh, the man stated:
“I have been tying my dog to the halal rack for a long time already, there is no problem.”
Seetoh’s reply to the man was that while he could state whatever he wanted, what he did was wrong, period.
As to whether dogs are considered impure, Muslim scholars and jurists hold different opinions with regard to the ruling.
Some consider dogs’ saliva and excrement impure, while others only consider dogs’ saliva as impure.
However, it is stated on Muis that “touching and holding dogs… is not against Islamic law and is not a sin”.
