Charity success on guide dogs in mosques

By Rosie Walker, Third Sector Online, 22 September 2008

Dogs will be allowed to enter mosques for the first time tomorrow following
a charity campaign.

The Islamic Shari'ah Council has issued a fatwa - a legal verdict - allowing
guide dogs to accompany blind Muslims to mosques.

This follows campaigning from the
Guide Dogs for the Blind Association
and
The Muslim Council of Britain.

Vargo will become the first dog allowed inside when he accompanies his
18-year-old owner, Mahomed-Abraar Khatri, to a mosque in Leicester.

However, Vargo will only go as far as the shoe rack. Hygiene concerns mean
he will not be allowed into the prayer hall.

Guide Dogs hopes the move will encourage other blind and partially sighted
Muslims to consider guide dog ownership.

Bridget Warr, chief executive of Guide Dogs, said the charity decided two
years ago to do more to reach minority groups.

Shaykh Ibrahim Mogra, assistant secretary general of the Muslim Council of
Britain, said: "I hope this development will help Muslim communities to
better
understand the teachings of Islam with regards to dogs, especially guide
dogs that make such a difference to the quality of life of their owners."

Mohammad Shahid Raza, secretary of the Shari'ah Council, predicted that
newly built mosques will be designed with facilities for disabled people.
