Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen said:
And from among them is that there is nothing wrong with a person using medicines, pills and vaccinations that prevent the epidemic, because that is from [seeking] protection before the outbreak of the affliction, and there is nothing wrong with it.
Just as if a person is afflicted with an infectious disease, and treats it, then there is nothing wrong in him [having done that]. So likewise, if he takes precaution against it, there is no harm in him [having done so], and this is not considered to be a lack of trust [in Allaah]. Rather, it is from trust, because taking protective action from death and suffering is necessary, and the one who trusts [in Allaah] or claims he is trusting [of Allaah] and does not take protective action, then in reality he is not trusting [of Allaah], rather he is contesting the wisdom of Allaah عز و جل, because the wisdom of Allaah refuses to be anything other than the reason which Allaah تعالى decreed for him. And Allaah is the Expounder of [All] success.
