An Iraqi source of emulation said, “To deal with the Coronavirus, the efforts of the medical staff alone are not enough and everyone must cooperate and interact with each other.” RNA – In a statement, Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Muhammad-Taqi al-Husayni al-Modarresi, an Iraqi source of emulation based in Najaf, said, “We thank the people who are trying to control the Coronavirus but this isn’t enough and everyone in the society should be vigilant in trying to control this virus.”
The senior Iraqi scholars said, “One of the reasons for the spread of this virus in Iraq, despite the closure of borders and curfews, is the failure of officials to provide the essential needs of the people to prevent this disease and the lack of cooperation and empathy of the people in dealing with this disease.”
Ayatollah al-Modarresi stated, “Purity and cleanliness is one of the traditions of God and God loves clean and pure people, and this means that any ugliness and filth should be avoided, whether in a social position that includes cleanliness of the environment or in the position of a person who includes the purity of the body and clothes and the place of worship from any impurity and pollution.”
He emphasized the social dimension and added, “It’s necessary to keep our environment and society free from pollution and viruses and to maintain cleanliness and tidiness by wearing a mask when leaving the house and use give special attention to disinfectant solutions.”
Ayatollah al-Modarresi also stated, “Maintaining social cleanliness can only be achieved with the cooperation and observance of all people, and we should distance ourselves from some recommended things such as visiting, attending weddings and other things, because these things are in conflict with preserving one’s soul and life. Contact through social media and feeding the needy instead of setting up parties and gatherings where dozens of people are likely to get infected.”
