A dog that bites a man

Husayn said that al-Sha'bi said: When a dog is in the house, and the people of the house gave a man permission to enter and the dog bit him, those people of the house will be liable. If that person entered without permission and the dog then bit him, they will not be liable.

Zakariyya said that Amir said: If their dog bit someone outside the house at a distance of a handspan or more, the people of the house will be liable.

Muhammad bin Qays said that he heard Imam al-Sha'bi say: When one person brought another person into his house, he will be liable for him until he takes him out just as he brought him in.

Abu Ma'shar said that Ibrahim said: When that person entered with the permission of the people of the house and the dog then bit him, they will be liable; and if he entered without their permission and the dog then bit him, they will not be liable.

Tariq bin Abd al-Rahman said: I was with Judge Shurayh when a beggar came to him, his bag torn and his shin wounded. He said: I entered the house of certain people and their dog bit me. At this Shurayh said: If they had given you permission, then they will be liable; otherwise there is no liability upon them.

Shu'bah said that al-Hakam said, concerning a dog that bites a great deal: No compensation is to be paid.

Husayn said that Amir used to say concerning dogs: When a man came upon the dogs while they were with a flock and they bit him, there is no liability upon the owner of the dogs. And if the dogs come out at people on the road and bite someone, then in this case liability is binding upon him.
