COVID 19 POSITIVE ATTENDING MASAAJID
1. If one is diagnosed with Covid, should he isolate and read his salaah at home, or should he go to the masjid if he is affected mildly (i.e. body strength, very light cough, and fever, minor difficulty in breathing, etc.)?
2. If a person who is Covid positive and goes to the masjid and the other musallis are aware that he is positive, will he then be sinful for inconveniencing Muslim brothers as unfortunately not everyone is comfortable being around the sick these days?
A:
1. He should go to the musjid. This does not prevent him from attending the musjid. To avoid any harassment he may do the fardh in the musjid, and read the sunnat and nafl at home, and he should not make it known to others.
2. It is not a reason for them to feel uncomfortable. They may perform namaaz at the other end of the musjid.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
