الجواب وبالله التوفيق والنجاح

We are allowed only to takecare  of a dog for the security purposes of cattles,houses,farms and for hunting.If we touch the dog accidently there is nothing wrong in that.If the body of the dog or the touched part of our body is wet then,that part should be washed thoroughly with water seven times and one of that should be mixed with sand.)

والله أعلم بالصواب
