Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is the epidemic spreading now to be treated like the plague, such that one does not enter the country where it is, nor leave it?
Answer:
Yes, yes, there is no doubt that in the case of a plague, one who is in the town where it is must not leave, and one who is outside must not enter it. This is a measure of prevention. This is a measure of prevention. Prevention for people means that one person does not go out [to spread it], as he may be carrying this plague. And the one on the outside, the counterpart, does not enter into danger. 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), when he approached the town and the plague had broken out there, did not enter it. Abu 'Ubaydah (may Allah be pleased with him) said to him: Are you fleeing from the decree of Allah? He said: Yes, we flee from the decree of Allah to the decree of Allah, because the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said: upon him.
