Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A person asks, saying that he is suffering from a contagious disease called al-'Anjiz.
The Shaykh:
Al-'Ankabut, yes.
The questioner:
He asks if he may leave the congregational prayer so as not to infect people, even though he is able to go to the mosque?
The Shaykh:
Ask the doctor if this disease is one of the contagious diseases or not? If it is one of the contagious diseases, then yes, this is an excuse. But if it is not a disease, I do not know that it is contagious.
