Do not keep pets unless necessary

This hadith is about the consequences of keeping a pet dog for any purpose other than herding or hunting. According to this hadith, if someone keeps such a pet dog, they will lose two qirat of their deeds every day. A qirat is an amount that is equal to one-fourth part of an individual’s good deeds and it can be earned by doing good things like helping others and being kind to them. Therefore, this hadith teaches us that we should not keep pets unless they are necessary for herding or hunting as it can lead to the loss of our good deeds which are essential for our success in life and hereafter.
