Question
Mufti Ebrahim Desai, in a fatwa, says that it is permissible to wear a covid mask. He says that the prohibition in the Hadith falls away when the mask is worn because of a need. The need is the danger of being infected with the covid disease. Please comment.
Answer
We have commented in detail on his bunkum fatwa. Our detailed response is available on our website. In brief, his fatwa is haraam nonsense. It is haraam to don the niqaab of Iblees.
