What Islam Says About Contagious Diseases (COVID-19)

Contagious disease is one of the types of transmissible diseases, which can be transmitted through person to person by direct physical contact or by causal contact such as infectious agent could be transfer from air borne droplets of infected person to others or through objects which are contaminated by infected hands. Mostly viral diseases are contagious in nature some of them are; Coronavirus disease (COVID-19), Tuberculosis, Ebola, Flu, Measles etc. Contagious diseases are dangerous because if they start to spread it is very difficult to control and then they often result in outbreak. Islam gives clear guidelines to humanity that how to tackle with such situations through different verses and hadiths.

Avoid transmission by quarantine yourself

The basic characteristic of contagious disease is that it can easily transmit without any vector from person to person. Therefore, infected individual is the main cause behind the spread of disease because virus itself is nothing without host, if we are not providing ourselves to flourish infectious agent then one day it will eradicate completely. To stop transmission of disease is the mutual effort.

Quarantine is the only way to stop the virus from spreading because one infected person can infect or harm the whole community. That is why until or unless you are not completely cured, isolate yourself completely from social interactions. For the sake of humanity, if you separate yourself from others it is an act of kindness and intelligence.

It is previously mentioned in Hadith that:

Abu Salamah reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “There is no infection (without the decree of Allah). Do not mix the sick with the healthy.”
