Imam Sadiq, peace be upon him, said in a hadith: Indeed, Allah, blessed and exalted, has not created a creature dirtier than the dog, and indeed, the one who shows enmity to us, the Ahl al-Bayt, is dirtier than the dog!
2 عَنِ الْفَضْلِ أَبِی الْعَبَّاسِ فِی حَدِیثٍ أَنَّهُ سَأَلَ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنِ الْکَلْبِ فَقَالَ رِجْسٌ نِجْسٌ لَا یُتَوَضَّأْ بِفَضْلِهِ وَ اصْبُبْ ذَلِکَ الْمَاءَ وَ اغْسِلْهُ بِالتُّرَابِ أَوَّلَ مَرَّةٍ ثُمَّ بِالْمَاءِ.

Fadl, in a hadith, asked Imam Sadiq, peace be upon him, about the dog; The Imam said: It is impure and unclean! One cannot perform ablution with the leftover water that a dog has drunk from, and you should pour out that water and wash its container first with soil and then with water!
3 عَنِ الْفَضْلِ أَبِی الْعَبَّاسِ قَالَ: قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِاللَّهِ إِنْ أَصَابَ ثَوْبَکَ مِنَ الْکَلْبِ رُطُوبَةٌ فَاغْسِلْهُ وَ إِنْ مَسَّهُ جَافّاً فَاصْبُبْ عَلَیْهِ الْمَاءَ قُلْتُ لِمَ صَارَ بِهَذِهِ الْمَنْزِلَةِ قَالَ لِأَنَّ النَّبِیَّ أَمَرَ بِقَتْلِهَا [بِغُسْلِها] .

Fadl said: Imam Sadiq, peace be upon him, said: If your clothes touch a dog while there is moisture, wash it, and if it touches it while dry, sprinkle water on it. I said: Why is it in this state? He said: Because the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him and his family, has commanded its killing (its washing)!
4 عَنْ مُعَاوِیَةَ بْنِ شُرَیْحٍ عَنْ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ فِی حَدِیثٍ أَنَّهُ سُئِلَ عَنْ سُؤْرِ الْکَلْبِ یُشْرَبُ مِنْهُ أَوْ یُتَوَضَّأُ قَالَ لَا قُلْتُ أَ لَیْسَ هُوَ سَبُعٌ قَالَ لَا وَ اللَّهِ إِنَّهُ نَجَسٌ لَا وَ اللَّهِ إِنَّهُ نَجَسٌ.

Imam Sadiq, peace be upon him, was asked about the saliva of a dog from which one has drunk or performed ablution; The Imam said: No! I said: Isn't the dog a beast of prey?! He said: No! By Allah, it is unclean! No, by Allah! It is unclean!
5 عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنِ الْکَلْبِ السَّلُوقِیِّ فَقَالَ إِذَا مَسِسْتَهُ فَاغْسِلْ یَدَکَ.

6 عَنْ أَبِی سَهْلٍ الْقُرَشِیِّ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ لَحْمِ الْکَلْبِ فَقَالَ هُوَ مَسْخٌ قُلْتُ هُوَ حَرَامٌ قَالَ هُوَ نَجَسٌ أُعِیدُهَا عَلَیْهِ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ کُلَّ ذَلِکَ یَقُولُ هُوَ نَجَسٌ.
📚 Al-Kafi, vol. 6, p. 245
Abu Sahl said: I asked Imam Sadiq, peace be upon him, about dog meat; The Imam said: It is 'maskh' (a transformed animal)! I said: Is it unlawful! The Imam said: It is unclean! I repeated my words to him three times, and each time the Imam said: It is unclean!
7 عَنْ عَلِیٍّ فِی حَدِیثِ الْأَرْبَعِمِائَةِ قَالَ: تَنَزَّهُوا عَنْ قُرْبِ الْکِلَابِ فَمَنْ أَصَابَ الْکَلْبَ وَ هُوَ رَطْبٌ فَلْیَغْسِلْهُ وَ إِنْ کَانَ جَافّاً فَلْیَنْضِحْ ثَوْبَهُ بِالْمَاءِ.
📚 Al-Khisal, p. 626.
Amir al-Mu'minin, peace be upon him, said: Avoid getting close to dogs. So, whoever comes in contact with a dog while it is wet must wash it, and if it is dry, he should sprinkle water on it.
✅ Based on the above narrations and others, the dog is an animal that has been completely called 'najis' (unclean) and 'rijs' (filth), and contact with any part of its body, if there is also moisture, necessitates washing, and if it is dry, water is sprinkled on the part that was in contact.
✅ The 'najis al-ayn' (essentially unclean) status of the dog includes all dogs, whether they are hunting dogs, guard dogs, and so on, and includes all parts of their bodies.
✅ The absence of the dog's uncleanliness in the apparent text of the Quran and the permissibility of a hunted animal being 'tadhkiyah' (slaughtered) and edible by a trained hunting dog, none of these indicate the dog's lack of uncleanliness, and it is a heinous 'ijtihad' (independent reasoning) by some 'scholarly pretenders' of the end of time against the narrational texts of the true and exclusive interpreters of the Quran.
اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَی مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ عَجِّلْ لِوَلِیِّکَ الْفَرَجَ وَ الْعَافِیَةَ وَ النَّصْرَ
