Dr. Pipes,

Craig Considine is telling us that in the age of the Wuhan/Chinese coronavirus we must listen to the teaching of Dr Muhammad!

Here is a hadith read and laugh

اذا اكل احدكم فلا يمسح يده حتى يلعقها أويلعقها

This can be rendered as:

"If one of you eat then (he) should not wipe his hand UNTIL he licks it or (have someone) licking it!"

Mashallah!

So in the age of the Wuhan/Chinese coronavirus a virus that is transmitted via droplet infection, Dr Muhammad is saying that a Muslim after eating can ask a friend to lick his hand!

Any comments Craig Considine?

Here is the hadith and the explanation of the hadith

https://islamweb.net/ar/library/index.php?page=bookcontents&idfrom=9969&idto=9970&bk_no=52&ID=3053

And this hadith is in صحيح البخاري كتاب الأطعمة or Sahih al-Bukhari the book of eating/food
