Abstract
Nowadays, in order to understand the Shari'ah rules regarding the spread of the coronavirus and the precautions to be taken against it, it seems appropriate to consider the following points: The cause of deadly epidemics is the negligence in the rights of Allah and the rights of His bondsmen and the abundance and audacity of the declared sins, ignoring the punishment of Allah. When a nation openly becomes a victim of collective negligence in religious rules, Allah Almighty draws them to Himself by frightening them in various ways. One of these methods is to spread any of the deadly epidemics. However, if one abides by the rules of Islam in such a situation, this punishment will also become a mercy of Allah for him. Therefore, in this world, suffering and calamity befalls the righteous believer and the believer who commits sins and the disbeliever is of course no exception. The worldly grip is proved before the torment of the day of judgement so that the disbelievers and sinners may see it and learn a lesson and turn to Allah Almighty. The sign of illness or suffering being a sign of mercy is that as a result of illness or affliction one turns to Allah Almighty and there is improvement and positive change in one's practical life. It is a sign of trial or persecution if the grievance turns to worldly causes and grief instead of returning to Allah Almighty. All these things have been proved in the light of Qur'an and Sunnah.
