அல்லாஹ் இருக்கும்போது பன்றிக்காய்ச்சலுக்கு தடுப்பு மருந்து போடுவது எதற்கு?

பன்றிக்காய்ச்சலே ஒரு ஏமாற்றுவேலை. அல்லாஹ்தான் சிறந்த தடுப்பு மருந்து.

முஸ்லீம்கள் பன்றிக்காய்ச்சலுக்கு தடுப்பு மருந்து போடக்கூடாதாம்.

சவுதி அரேபிய இமாமே கூறிவிட்டார்.

Swine flu a hoax by business interest, Saudi religious scholar says


A member of the Senior Ulema Council claims pandemics is a hoax and that only “God decides in the matter”. He backs his argument by saying that during Ramadan, the number of funerals did not rise over the previous year, and that many of the people he knew did not get the disease despite not being vaccinated.

Riyadh (AsiaNews) – The world might be on alert for the new influenza, and Saudi authorities might be setting up preventive measures in preparation for Hajj to Makkah next November, but for Sheikh Saleh al-Luhaydan, a member of the Senior Ulema Council, it is useless because the swine flu is a huge hoax hatched by business interests. In such matters, “God decides”, the sheikh said.
Reported in Asharq Al-Awsat, the views of the Muslim religious leader were made public during a lecture at Al-Rajihi Mosque, in Riyadh.

Asked for a ruling on whether a person can pray in his house if he fears going to the mosque as a precaution against being infected by the swine flu, the sheikh said that it was not possible to “know how serious this epidemic is.”

He backed his claim by saying that during Ramadan, there was no rise in the number of funerals over last year. In addition, the Islamic scholar-cum-improvised virologist said he knew people who had not been vaccinated and who did not develop the disease.

“This is due to God's care and protection of Kaaba's visitors,” he explained.

Sheikh Saleh's statements prompted Dr Khalid Abdul-Ghafar Al Abdul-Rahman, the dean of the College of Medicine at the Islamic Imam Muhammad Bin-Saud University, to respond and emphatically said that the “epidemic does exist and has been scientifically proven."

All that can be said about the low number of cases during Ramadan is that it happened despite the huge influx of pilgrims to Makkah.

On one point, religious scholar and medical expert agree: in the end God’s hand helped the pilgrims avoid the contagion.
