Riyad as-Salihin, 1688
Ibn 'Umar (May Allah be pleased with them) said:
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "He who keeps a dog other than one for guarding the fields or herds or hunting, will lose two Qirat every day out of his rewards." <b>[Al-Bukhari and Muslim]</b>.
عن ابن عمر رضي الله عنهما قال سمعت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يقول:
من اقتنى كلبًا إلا كلب صيد أو ماشية فإنه ينقص فإنه ينقص من أجره كل يوم قيراطان
((متفق عليه)). وفي رواية: قيراط.

2) The Shariah adopts the approach of ease and facilitation, considering people’s interests. {And has not imposed upon you any hardship in religion.}
