\n\tQuestion<\/strong><\/u><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tI would appreciate it if this could be responded to promptly. Recently, due to the coronavirus outbreak, there has been a lot of panic. Due to this, my mother has declared that I am no longer allowed to head out for Friday prayer (and other congregations). What should I do?<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tAs additional information, I currently live in the UAE, Dubai and schools have just been shut down for 4 weeks. In total there have been an estimated 20 cases.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tIn the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/u>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t \n<\/p>\n

\n\tAnswer:<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/u>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tFirstly, if someone has symptoms of the virus he should not attend the prayer. The Prophet (pbuh) said: “A sick person should not be taken to one who is healthy.” (Muslim)<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tSecondly, a highly vulnerable person should also refrain from public places (like the elderly). The Prophet (pbuh) said: “One should stay away from the disease, as one runs away from a lion.” (Bukhari)<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tIf someone is not amongst these groups, he should attend the Friday prayer.[1] <\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tIf there are some restrictions by the government, he should pray Zuhr at home.[2]<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n
