Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is a person suffering from a contagious disease, such as what is called swine flu, instructed to stay away from the mosque and pray in his home?

The Shaykh:
Yes, if he is afflicted, he does not mix with the people; he stays in his house. If he is afflicted with it, and if the illness is confirmed to be this…

The questioner:
…garlic, that he isolates himself from the place of prayer, even though there is no danger in it? How about the one in whom there is danger, a serious illness, and may Allah protect us from it? Yes.
