Most Viewed - What is the ruling on the fear of contracting the Corona disease?

Question:
Peace be upon you. The questioner says: I want to go to Makkah for 'Umrah, but I am afraid of the Corona disease. Is this a weakness in faith, or is it taking the necessary precautions?

Answer:
This is a weakness in reliance upon Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). So rely on Allah, go for the 'Umrah, and pray in al-Masjid al-Haram, and do not fear anyone but Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He).
Yes, if a prohibition is issued regarding entry into a country based on a medical report, there is no harm. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said regarding the plague: "If you hear of it in a land, do not enter it, and let no one who is in it leave it." If a prohibition is issued based on correct knowledge, do not go.
As long as, praise be to Allah, the door is open and those performing 'Umrah are performing it and visiting al-Masjid al-Nabawi, you should not have this intense fear.
