Yasir Qadhi - Spiritual Advice In Light of COVID-19 Shutdown

About this lecture

In this heartfelt lecture delivered at the outset of the COVID-19 pandemic, Sheikh Yasir Qadhi offers seven practical and spiritual pointers to help Muslims navigate what may be an unprecedented global crisis, covering topics from renewing one's iman and making tawbah, to charitable giving, family bonds, and awareness of death. He also addresses the deeply painful decision to close masajid, explaining from both a fiqh and public health perspective why following medical experts is itself an act of Islamic responsibility. The lecture concludes with an extended Q&A covering issues such as Jumu'ah at home, travel rulings, washing the deceased, and whether those who die from coronavirus attain the status of shahid.
