Combining the hadith "There is no contagion" with the hadith "Flee from the leper"

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, he says: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said . It was also reported from him (peace and blessings be upon him) that he said , and also that he said to a leper who came to pledge allegiance to him and did not shake his hand. How do you reconcile these hadiths?

Answer:
The reconciliation is clear. His statement "There is no contagion" is a refutation of the people of the pre-Islamic age of ignorance (jahiliyyah) who believed that disease spreads by itself and passes on by itself. This is the belief of the people of the pre-Islamic age of ignorance, not that Allah is the One who manages it and transmits it. As for his statement , its meaning is taking precautions. We are commanded to take precautions and beneficial means. This is among the precautions and beneficial means. Yes.
