Quarantine – Islamic Evidence – Plagues – epidemics – the Ruler’s AuthorityAbstract
The research aims to demonstrate Islamic evidence of quarantine in limiting the spread of epidemics and infectious diseases because countries around the globe have resorted to applying precautionary measures, such as quarantine, that restrict personal freedom in order to control the rapidly spreading COVID-19. The researcher aims to prove the legitimacy of penalizing quarantine violators. The research is divided into three sections: the first section elaborates on the definition of quarantine, its origin and rules. The second one details the Islamic evidence on the validity of quarantine. The third section is devoted to the Islamic evidence of the guardian’s authority to impose quarantine.
