Daphne Iking, 39, atau nama islam beliau adalah Dahlia Eleanor Iking telah memeluk islam pada tahun 2011 dan menjadi isteri kepada seorang ahli perniagaan, Azmi Abdul Rahman atau dikenali sebagai Joe.

murai.my terlihat Daphne memuat naik gambar di Instagram beliau dengan memegang seekor anjing bersama anak beliau petang tadi, dengan kapsyen yang sedikit sarkastik untuk bakal pengikut beliau yang besar kemungkinan akan mengkritik beliau gara-gara anjing yang Daphne pegang.

Meet Tootsie. Isn’t she cute? . Sebelum dikecam dan saya diberikan pahala free: 1. Yes. I am Muslim 2. No. This is my friend’s dog 3. We can touch dogs and Sayang dogs. Just cuci jer lepas tu. Macam kita cuci diri lepas pangsai or when we play with our pet kucing, hamster, horsey. Ah. Liddat. Wash. Update: . (Since most of the new comments are clearly coming from those who have read about this post from either GOSSIP and/or Entertainment news : best I type out a summary here) . 1. I contemplated hard before posting this picture up, but because I had put it on IG story and ppl asked me if this was my dog, I wrote what I wrote 👆🏻 (unclear to some, in a rather sarcastic tone admittedly) to address the issue. 2.Contrary to what you’ve read in these gossip portals and/or Entertainment feeds, I knew what I was getting myself in and was prepared for the attacks. But let me tell you, I’ve touched dogs took Pix and videos b4, but am careful which is shown publicly. But for some strange reason, a voice told me to go ahead with this post. Unexplainable really. But oh well. 3. When I say CUCI. (Which others prefer me to use the word samak or sertu) it’s because it’s as simple as me using my sabun samak/sertu jenama Tahara (I bought in bulk from a friend , but I’m sure you can get it online) to cuci the impurity of touching a wet dog (dogs are not haram, and dogs are mentioned in a kindly manner in the Quran 18:18 and 5:4. As guards and for hunting , but Allah knows best ) 4. Sengaja pegang ? Yes. We went to visit my friend and his dog Tootsie came running and jumped on us in excitement. My daughter Iman was a bit nervous and because I’ve seen young Muslim children throw stones and hurl abuse at these furry animals, I don’t want my children to fear and hate ANY animals (melainkan they harm my kids which Tootsie was clearly not). I picked Tootsie up to show she was just trying to show her affection towards new faces. That picture was taken by my eldest daughter and iman came to take a pic too. I didn’t ask her to, but she came once she saw that the dog was really harmless and just super friendly. . Hope this clarifies matters.

Perbincangan berkaitan anjing dianggap sensitif di kalangan umat Islam di Malaysia sekalipun ia ada disebut dalam al-Quran melalui beberapa bentuk, antaranya kisah Ashab al-Kahfi. Dalam hadis juga, ada dicerita perihal seorang pelaku dosa besar boleh diampun oleh Allah disebabkan memberi minum kepada anjing.

Namun, murai.my merasakan ia dianggap sensitif di kalangan orang Melayu. Tidak diketahui sebabnya. Mungkin terlalu terikat kepada mazhab Syafie yang menyatakan hukum anjing ialah najis mughalazah (najis berat).

Mengikut perbincangan dari sudut pengajian usul al-fiqh pula, sesuatu perkara tidak boleh dijatuhi hukum haram selama tiada nas sahih dan sarih (jelas) menyatakan pengharamannya.

Tiada satu nas sahih dan sarih menyatakan larangan menyentuh anjing. Jadi, ia tidak boleh dinyata sebagai haram. Inikan pula hukum sentuh anjing yang tiada satu nas sahih dan sarih.

Ada kekhilafan fiqh mengenai status kenajisan anjing. Dalam mazhab al-Syafie, ia najis. Maka, apabila menyentuh anjing, wajar dibasuh tujuh kali dengan salah satunya air tanah.

Namun, pendapat yang paling kuat dalam mazhab itu, badan anjing tidak dikira sebagai najis. Berbeza dengan mazhab Maliki yang menganggap badan dan air liur anjing bukan najis. Suruhan basuh dengan tujuh kali basuh dalam hadis, hanya sunat, bukan wajib. 

Kekhilafan ini bersandar kepada hadis bahawa Nabi saw bersabda, maksudnya:
“Daripada Abu Hurairah berkata, bersabda Rasulullah saw, apabila anjing menjilat bekas seseorang kamu, maka alirkan air padanya kemudian basuh sebanyak tujuh kali basuh.”

Sebenarnya, banyak perkara berkaitan anjing tidak wajar jadi sensitif. Namun, kekurangan penghayatan fiqh yang bersifat luas menjadikan kejumudan pula dilihat seperti kebaikan. murai.my berharap Daphne bersabar dengan apa-apa komen dari netizen.
