Brief Explanation
1؎ : This does not mean that illness is contagious; rather, this is why the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) forbade bringing healthy and non-sick animals near diseased camels. The meaning of his statement is that, according to prior decree (taqdeer) and Allah’s will, such an occurrence often takes place, so the owner of the animals may fall into tribulation and doubt regarding contagion. For this reason, the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) commanded to keep them apart.

Benefits and Issues:
The wisdom in this prohibition is that if, by Allah’s command, the healthy camels contract the disease, then a doubt may arise in the owner’s heart that this illness was caused by grazing the healthy camels together with the sick ones or by letting them drink water with them. Therefore, for the protection of faith, one should avoid any action that may give rise to doubts contrary to the correct creed.
