موطا امام مالك رواية ابن القاسم
Muwatta Imam Malik (Riwayat Ibn al-Qasim)
Discussion on Permissible and Lawful Matters
Keeping a Dog for Hunting, Herding, or Farming Is Permissible
Hadith 581
256- وبه: أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال: ”من اقتنى كلبا ليس بكلب صيد ولا كلب ماشية نقص من أجره كل يوم قيراطان.“
And with the same chain of narration (from Sayyiduna Ibn Umar, may Allah be pleased with them both), it is narrated that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Whoever keeps a dog other than a dog for hunting or for guarding livestock, then two qirats are deducted from his reward (good deeds) every day."
