Summary
Taking a selfie with a dog filter is regarded as makruh (disliked), because it is seen as imitating animals without any need. It is permissible if done for a legitimate need such as play. If it leads to making a mockery of Allah's original creation by altering it, the act becomes haram.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Hukum mengambil swafoto dengan menggunakan turas bergambar anjing adalah dimakruhkan kerana perbuatan itu dianggap berkelakuan menyerupai haiwan tanpa ada keperluan.
