[Machine] Gabriel sought permission from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and he gave him permission. Then Gabriel approached him and he was standing at the door. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "We have given you permission." Gabriel responded, "Yes, O Messenger of Allah, but we do not enter a house with a dog or an image." They found a puppy in some of their homes. Abu Rafi' said, "He commanded me when I woke up, and I did not leave a dog in Al-Madinah except that I killed it. Then I saw a woman with a tied-up dog that was barking at her, so I had mercy on her and left it alone. I came back and he commanded me, so I returned to the dog and killed it." The people said, "O Messenger of Allah, what is permissible for us from this nation that you ordered to kill?" So Allah revealed, "{They ask you, [O Muhammad], what has been made lawful for them. Say, ‘Lawful for you are [all] good foods.’}"
