That he hated dogs is just another piece of non sense the Islamophobes like to spread.Muhammud (pbuh) hated dogs so this adds an interesting tidbit for the conspiracy theorists.
He didn't want stray dogs, many who carry rabies, to be allowed to wander around the city of Mecca or Madinah. So he ordered them all killed in the interest of public safety.
But people who kept hunting and work dogs were allowed to keep them.
And there is nothing in Islam, Hadith, or Sunnah, that says it's against the religion to own a dog.![]()
Infidel-ophobes are often a bit light on on their Islamic-history. Muhammud (swish) and Islamism as an ideology view dogs as dirty, especially the saliva. While Muhammad(swish) did relented when hunters insisted on keeping their dogs, they were required to keep the dogs outside. Apparently, angels won't enter a home with dogs inside.
Many may not know this but the rabies virus was actually part of koranic prophesy. As with so much of biology and science, the rabies virus and its etymology was understood by muhammud (swish) and only later understood by modern science.
