Animals at house, Islam’s view

• The Prophet of Islam (PBUH) said, “White rooster is dear to me, and those hostile towards it are hostile towards God; this bird guards his owner’s house and the houses of seven of the neighbors on each side.” Prophet PBUH kept it inside the house during the nights.

• Imam Sadeq (PBUH) said, “All the prophets kept pigeons within their houses, because idiots of the gene race annoy children; but if pigeons are kept within the house, they will play with the birds and avoid disturbing family members.”
