Being a Muslim girl, how can I convince my family that our guard dog can stay in the home?

Stand to be corrected but keeping dogs is forbidden in Islam except for guarding or whatever.

At my workplace my doggy missus goes with me and Muslim clients wince if she comes too close to them. Had a few tell me they are forbidden to touch them as they're unclean or whatever the excuse is.
 
Or just tell them you want to go hiking, to see the forest, the mountains, and other scenic things, and tell them you are going to take the dog with you, "for protection of your honor from any bad man that you might meet", and go to the nearest secluded wilderness, find a good quiet place to camp, well off the beaten path spot, and teach your dog how to fill a hole.
 
Well, I don't think you can do anything about it. Especially if your family isn't reasonable.
Sorry for being too indiscreet, but what brought you here? I never saw Muslims around and that intrigued me
 
i think its rarer for them, but one of the zoo's I met irl was muslim, although I am not sure how strictly she practiced it, i kinda got the feeling she was far more relaxed than average, she did not wear any head dress, and I didn't even realize she was until she told me she came here from Afghanistan as a child when her parents fled for obvious reasons, I had no idea as she had a braided pony tail hair style and a very minimal accent I couldn't figure out until she told me that. I had just assumed she was spanish or something, stupid me lol, her looks did not really give too much hint other then a slightly darker complexion. Caught me by total surprise, but she was nice, and it was a friendly meeting, we talked a bit, every once in a while we still chat, but only as friends with a common interest.

Unfortunately I think the only rational and realistic advice one can give you is to rather wait until you're in your own home and privacy and are not under your parent's authority. You know your parents better than anyone so you should weigh up the risks. Good things come to those that wait.

By far the best comment here. thanks for not being a Douche like some of the others. That being said I have some concerns about this. Knowing what I do about Muslim and how they regard women I would say even in her own place it is not safe. correct me if Im wrong but single women typically stay with their families until a marriage is set up. in which you would just go from your parents home to your partners and still have the same issue. In the off chance you do get your own place it would greatly depend on where you live and what the Muslim population is in that area. If you are seen bringing a dog into or out of your home there could be sever consequences to that. Sadly I as much as the draw to this lifestyle can be to those of us involved in it. Its not worth risking your physical health and well being over. If I missed the mark here my apologies. Having served in muslim countries in the military I learned quite a few things but of course I could always be wrong. Just... please be careful in what ever you decide
 
You could always move to texas, no its not an invitation, but out here, people mind their own business a lot better. And nobody would bat an eye about having dogs around, in or outside, in many areas its odd not to see dogs around.

I feel embarrassed to be a part of the forum after reading this.

@Annnnah48, welcome. I’m happy you’re here. Don’t let the dummy scare you away.

If you're a true Muslim woman you should know this answer as Islam is being very clear from the very beginning it's in your Quran.
 
Good, then I just hope you can escape their grasp one day and become your own person instead of getting passed around the family like Muslim girls usually do.

So personally I would just wait until then, patience always pays off and you'll enjoy it much more when you're not looking over your shoulder or listening for someone coming.

Not getting into politics but anyone who looks down on animals and treats them as poorly as Muslims do can absolutely go and take a flying leap. Can't imagine how difficult it must be to grow up in that sort of radical environment.

Best of luck

If it's a guard dog I rode that it's authorised if you don't feel safe home, it's forbidden in the charia not in the religion, I hope you don't live under the charia
 
is all right the dog doesn't care if you are a Muslim or not, he just needs a vagina, and if you give him and enjoy what nature gave you i think then you are lucky.
 
In South Africa there are plenty of Muslims with dogs that they treat like furbabies so there has to be a loophole in the religion somewhere. I'm getting depressed just trying to imagine a life without dogs.
