Quran
وَأَنفِقُوا فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ وَلَا تُلْقُوا بِأَيْدِيكُمْ إِلَى التَّهْلُكَةِ ۛ وَأَحْسِنُوا ۛ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُحِبُّ الْمُحْسِنِينَ
"And spend in the way of Allah and do not throw [yourselves] with your [own] hands into destruction [by refraining]. And do good; indeed, Allah loves the doers of good."
Surah Al-Baqarah · 2:195
Relevant to scabies as neglecting hygiene and proper treatment of contagious skin conditions constitutes self-harm and harm to others through transmission.
يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا إِذَا قُمْتُمْ إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ فَاغْسِلُوا وُجُوهَكُمْ وَأَيْدِيَكُمْ إِلَى الْمَرَافِقِ وَامْسَحُوا بِرُءُوسِكُمْ وَأَرْجُلَكُمْ إِلَى الْكَعْبَيْنِ
"O you who have believed, when you rise to [perform] prayer, wash your faces and your forearms to the elbows and wipe over your heads and wash your feet to the ankles."
Surah Al-Ma'idah · 5:6
Emphasizes ritual and physical cleanliness which helps prevent and manage skin parasitic infestations like scabies through regular washing.
Sahih Hadith
لَا يُورِدَنَّ مُمْرِضٌ عَلَى مُصِحٍّ
"A sick person should not be brought to a healthy one."
Directly applies to scabies management as it is highly contagious through close contact and bedding, requiring isolation protocols.
إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُحِبُّ النَّظَافَةَ وَالنَّظِيفَ
"Indeed Allah loves cleanliness and those who are clean."
Foundational to scabies prevention and cure as the condition thrives in poor hygiene and requires thorough cleaning of person and environment.
الطَّاعُونُ لاَ تَدْخُلُوهَا، وَإِذَا وَقَعَ بِأَرْضٍ وَأَنْتُمْ بِهَا فَلاَ تَخْرُجُوا مِنْهَا
"If you hear of an outbreak of plague in a land, do not enter it; but if the plague breaks out in a place while you are in it, do not leave that place."
Establishes quarantine principles applicable to contagious skin conditions like scabies to prevent community spread.
