Vektor Zika dan Teknik Kawalan Haiwan Perosak Menurut Perspektif Hadis

The spread of Zika virus (ZIKV) has raised tensions among the world community especially Malaysia since it was last recorded in 2007. Zika (ZIKV) is transmitted to humans by the Aedes Aegypti mosquito which also causes dengue, chikungunya and yellow fever. In less than a year, the Zika virus has spread across the globe. The focal point was on February 1, 2016 when World Health Organization (WHO) had to press the panic button and declare ZIKV a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC). All significant world health agencies have now been deployed for the purpose of preventing and controlling viruses. A range of appropriate control measures have been implemented including the repellent campaign against Aedes mosquito and to monitor the flow of people and international tourists to Malaysia. Significantly, in the compilation of his word, Prophet Muhammad has warned of the dangers and threats of pests. Although mosquitoes are not specifically referred to as fasiq animals (pests), their threats could qualify to be classified as pests through the opinion of qias (analogy) scholars. Therefore, this paper seeks to shed light on the threat of mosquitoes and the basis of their relationship to the fasiq animals (pests). This study is important in guiding the community concerning the harm produced by animals and the finest control procedure in light of the sunnah of the Prophet.
