Attending the musjid when one has a contagious disease
Question
If one is physically able to make it to the musjid but has a contagious disease (flu, measles etc.) must he attend?
Answer
It is permissible for him to attend the Musjid. However, if people feel inconvenienced through his presence in the Musjid, then he should perform salaah at home.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
