Leaving 'Umrah due to the spread of the epidemic and reliance upon Allah

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: Does the one who leaves 'Umrah because of this disease that is spreading these days fall under a lack of reliance upon Allah, or does he fall under taking the necessary measures?

Answer:
Or is it established in the hadith that it is
If the epidemic is in a country, do not enter it, and if one is in the country, do not leave itإذا كان الوباء في بلد فلا تقدموا عليه، ومن كان في البلد لا يخرج
This is part of taking the necessary measures, and this is part of prevention. Prevention is better than cure. This is what they now call quarantine. This has a basis in the Shari'ah. Yes.
