Ruling on reading Qur’aan in a house where there is a dog

What is the ruling on reading Qur'aan in a housewhere there is a dog?
@
Praise be to Allaah.
There is nothing wrong with that, but you have to get the dog out of
the house and not keep it inside, unless it is for one of three
reasons, namely hunting, farming or herding livestock. The Prophet
(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: "Whoever keeps a
dog, unless it is a dog for hunting, herding or farming, his reward
willdecrease by two qiraats (i.e., a large amount) everyday." (Agreed
upon).
And Allaah is the Source ofstrength.
