463 keeping a dog as a pet Would you be so kind as to explain the circumstances & the guidelines under which a momin would be able to keep a dog as a pet.

We live on a large parcel of land and with all the criminal activity these days we have entertained having a guard dog on the premises. It would always be outside and would never enter the living quarters.

Is there anyway to accomplish both, have a dog and still meet the Islamic directive.

Also, I understand a dog by the name of Tatmir will be allowed into heaven; if it is truly "Najis", why then the exception?

Thanks in advance for your response.

648 Foster mother I have been facing a lot of problems through my foster mother. She has always been cursing me through bad words and disgracing me by making fun of me (many a times in front of many people). When i try to defend myself, my parents call it 'insolence'. Is she to be obeyed? is she, in any respect, equal to the status of my real mother (late)? What does Islam say about this?
