The statement you know is correct. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said in a hadeeth that the angel of mercy does not enter a house where there is a picture of a dog or an animal. For example, Abi Talha Al-Ansari, the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said: The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: The angels do not enter the house (of mercy) so that there is a picture of a dog or an animal. (Musnadul Humaidi, Hadith No. 435; Musnad Ahmad, Hadith No. 615; Sahih Bukhari, Hadith No. 3322, 3144) It is permissible to keep a trained dog for the purpose of guarding the house or hunting halal objects. However, do not allow them to enter your home. At the same time, it is important to take care that the clothes do not face the furniture. عن عدي بن حاتم رضي الله عنه أن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال: "ما علمت من كلب أو باز ثم أرسلته وذكرت اسم الله فكل مما أمسك عليك" • Adi bin Hatim ra narrated from the Prophet. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: The dog or hawk that is trained, then sent to say Bismillah, then eat what they hunt. (Sunan Kubra Lahki, Hadith No. 185) On the authority of Jabir bin Abd Allah, he said: The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) forbade accepting the price of a dog, but trained dogs are different. (Musnad Ahmad, Hadith No. 14411, Sunan Nasai, Hadith No. 48) 4717459776
