Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: Is it correct to say that this disease is contagious? And what is the meaning of the statement, "There is no contagion"?
Answer:
Yes, indeed. Some diseases are contagious by the permission of Allah, contagious by the permission of Allah. As for his saying (peace and blessings be upon him), "There is no contagion," this refers to what the people of the pre-Islamic age of ignorance (jahiliyyah) used to believe, namely that a disease spreads by itself, not by the permission of Allah. May Allah reward you.
