Assalamu alaikum
I was reading an article written by Dr. Khaled Abou El Fadl concerning the status of dogs and some of his arguments as to why he believes they are not as impure as some other scholars may state and I had a question regarding the exact translation and explanation for some of the references he made in his paper. For the most part, I was able to look up the exact sources online (in english translation) and cross-reference with his claims just to make sure that I could authenticate the points he made. However, for the sources that I list below, I have only been able to find the original Arabic script for these sources and unfortunately my knowledge in Arabic is very basic. I would appreciate it, if possible, if someone with access to these sources could explain what these sources say and if possible, explain whether Dr. Khaled Abou El Fadl is using these narrations correctly.
- al-Mubarakafuri, Tuhfat al-Ahwadhi, 8:74; Al-Nawawi, Sahih Muslim, 9-10:478, 480, 483.
- Al-Nawawi, Sahih Muslim, 3-4:465.
- Ibn Hajar al-‘Asqalani, Fath al-Bari, 1:334.
