لسلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته
Respected mufti
Hope you receive this in good health

Mufti saheb I heard a clip where you answered a question regarding fear
of this virus
I would like to find out did our beloved Nabi (s.a.w) not discourage
fear and encouraged hiding fear?
Knowing that fear is a natural instinct of man, did our beloved Nabi
(s.a.w) not give glad tidings for that person who even tho he has fear
he hides it as to not cause others to panic?

Answer

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.

Jazaakallah for your query.

There are many voice clips of Mufti Ebrahim Desai Sahib (Hafidhahullah) regarding fear.

Which specific voice clip are you referring to and what are your questions in the context of that specific voice clip?
