Ustaz Yusuf Mansur Supports MUI Fatwa About Praying at Home

Kapanlagi.com - Ustaz Yusuf Mansur talks about the MUI fatwa which advises to perform prayers at home. Many people misunderstand the fatwa, some even say that they fear the Corona virus more than God.

He himself analogizes it to Prophet Muhammad SAW who also made efforts to protect himself from something bad. He says that the MUI fatwa is part of perfecting efforts.

1. Can Choose

"I need to remind that the Prophet himself, even during war, still wore battle clothes, still wore armor. When eating, the Prophet still instructed us to pay attention to cleanliness until the 'soul' of the food itself. Is it halal or haram," he said.

"We cannot just rely on bismillah and believe that if there is something bad, we still eat it. We can't do that. We are given intellect to discern and choose. When we gather anywhere, not just in the mosque. We prevent gatherings from happening everywhere. So don't be afraid of corona, no," he added.

2. Break the Corona Chain

By not praying in the mosque, it is hoped that the chain of the Corona virus will be broken. Because, in any case, even healthy people can become carriers or carriers of the virus.

"This is a kind of perfecting effort. Because healthy people can carry the virus. They can become carriers. That's what people should consider. Whether they bring the virus home, when in the mosque, it's not always the people there. Unless the mosque is only for those people, well this mosque is filled with pedestrians, motorcyclists, car drivers that we don't know where they come from. It becomes a problem like that," he concluded.
