Q: There is a view amongst some Muslim Scholars during this Covid Pandemic that one should have Tawakkul and ignore the government protocol and recommendations. Even our children in Madrasah are being told to remove their masks, while their schools insist on masks being worn.

If these were worn to offer some protection why is our wearing masks and exercising social distancing viewed by some as having no faith in Allah Ta'ala?
