Wearing a mosquito-repelling device as protection against fever
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
There is now a device in pharmacies that is worn on the wrist, the size of a pager. A battery is placed in it, and its benefit is that it prevents mosquitoes from approaching you within five meters in any direction. Is it permissible to wear it as protection against Rift Valley fever?
Answer:
We will ask the doctors if it is true that it repels mosquitoes, because it contains a substance that drives mosquitoes away. If that is the case, what is the objection to doing it? It is a form of protection, like the creams they use now; they apply it to the skin to protect against mosquitoes. This is a form of protection. There is no harm if this is established and it is a means of protection. This indicates the weakness of people. Now, mosquitoes frighten them; they are afraid of mosquitoes now. This indicates the weakness of people. Do they have confidence in themselves?
