1Saudi Arabia: Will Swine Flu Threaten Hajj?Arabia Saodita: Hanohintohina ny Hajj ve ny gripan-kisoa?
2Every year millions of Muslims converge to Mecca to perform Hajj (pilgrimage), one of the five pillars of Islam.Silamo anarivoarivony no mizotra isan-taona mankany Lameka hanatontosa Hajj (fivahiniana masina), iray amin'ny andry dimin'ny finoana Islamo.
3Is this year's Hajj season being threatened by the A/H1N1 or Swine Flu virus?Ho voantohintohin'ny viriosy A/H1N1 na ny gripan-kisoa ve ny Hajj amin'ity indray mitoraka ity?
4Bloggers commenting on the region weigh in.Mametraka ny heviny ny mpamaham-bolongana any amin'ny faritra.
5At CrossRoads Arabia, John Burgess explains:Ao amin'ny CrossRoads Arabia, i John Burgess no manazava:
6A Saudi researcher in Shariah law find that there is precedent to ban Umrah pilgrims (those who undertake the non-obligatory, ‘lesser' pilgrimage) who come from areas beset with the A/H1N1 or swine flu virus.Mpikaroka Saodiana iray momba ny lalànan'ny Shariah no nahita fa efa nisy ny tranga efa nisy tany aloha momba ny fandrarana ny mpivahiny Umrah (ireo izay tsy terena, mpivahiny ‘ambany kokoa') dia ireo izay avy any amin'ny faritra ahiana ho nisy A/H1N1 na viriosin'ny gripan-kisoa.
7I suspect that this opinion is being floated now in anticipation of the Haj, which will take place in late November.Manahy aho fa alefa ity hevitra ity hiatrehana ny Haj, izay hotontosaina amin'ny volana novambra.
8The Haj is obligatory, in that every Muslim is required to perform the pilgrimage at least once in his/her life, if feasible.Adidy ny Haj, ary amin'io ny Silamo tsirairay dia tsy maintsy manatontosa azy farafaharatsiny indray mandeha amin'ny fiainany raha azo atao.
9Similar concerns were raised a few years ago, when bird flu (H5N1) was threatening.Efa napoitra koa manko ny toy izao taona vitsivitsy lasa izay, rehefa natahorana ny gripam-borona (H5N1).
10One Saudi scholar called for Haj to be canceled if there were a severe outbreak, but that proposal was shot down by others.Saodiana mpandalina momba ny Haj iray no niantso hampiatoana azy raha mihanaka loatra ny aretina, saingy nolavin'ny hafa izany volaolan-kevitra izany.
11The argument was that Haj had never been canceled on public health grounds and that to do so would be counter to Islam.Ny antony dia tsy mbola nofoanana noho ny antony fahasalamam-bahoaka na oviana na oviana ny Haj ary mifanohitra amin'ny fototra Islamo izany.
12Rather, those who are ill are morally obliged to not perform Haj.Ary koa, izay marary dia sakanana am-pitenenana tsy hanatontosa ny Haj.
13Communicable diseases and Haj are historical companions.Tantara mifanindran-dalana mandrakariva ny Haj sy ny areti-mifindra.
14There are many records of outbreaks of disease, from plague to cholera, killing thousands in Mecca, Madinah, and Jeddah over the years.Efa maro ny aretina voarakitra an-tantara fa namono olona anarivony toy ny pesta sy ny Kôlera, tany Lameka, Medina, ary Jeddah nandritra ny taona maro.
15Only toward the end of the 19th C. did strictly enforced quarantines [210-page PDF] work to stop the spread of diseases out of the region, back to the homes of the pilgrims.Tamin'ny taonjato faha-19 vao noterena atao ny fanokana-monina [210-pejy PDF] hampitsaharana ny fielezan'ny aretina ho tonga any amin'ny toerana niavian'ny mpanao fivahiniana masina.
16Quarantines and strict enforcement of medical screening can protect pilgrims and that might be enough.Afa-miaro ny mpivahiny ny fanokana-monina sy ny fanaraha-maso akaiky ny toe-pahasalamana ary ampy hahazoana antoka izany.
17Only time will tell.Ny ampitso ihany no hilaza azy.
18Swine flu, as bird flu before it, may turn out to be a non-issue.Mety tsy ho tonga any akory tahaka ny gripam-borona ny olan'ny gripan-kisoa.
19If it does not, however, it good that people are starting to think about it now.Fa raha tsy izany dia tsara ihany ny rehetra raha mihevitra momba izy ity dieny ankehitriny.
20The Middle East Institute's Editor's Blog adds:Nanampy hevitra ny Middle East Institute's Editor's Blog:
21This is getting stranger and stranger.Miha-hafahafa izy ity.
22The Grand Mufti of Egypt is suggesting Muslim scholars issue a collective fatwa [religious edict] to postpone the hajj due to swine flu.Manolo-kevitra ireo mpandalim-pivavahana hamoaka lalàna fatwa [lalam-pivavahana] ny Grand Mufti ao Ezypta hanemotra ny hajj noho ny fisian'ny gripan-kisoa.
23Arabic version is here.Hitanao eto ny dika teny arabon'io volavolan-dalàna io.
24Keep in mind - I know I keep repeating it - there have been no cases in Egypt.Ataovy ao an-tsaina - ary averiko indray - fa tsy mbola nisy ny trangan'aretina teto Ezypta.
25In fact, according to WHO's rundown as of yesterday, the only cases confirmed in the entire Middle East are in Israel (seven cases).Raha ny marina, araka ny nolazain'ny OMS omaly, ny mbola nisiana tranga nanerana ny Proche Orient iray manontolo dia tao Isiraely ihany (fito no tratra).
26And WHO says, “WHO is not recommending travel restrictions related to the outbreak of the influenza A(H1N1) virus.”Ary dia nilaza ny OMS fa, “Tsy mandrisika ny fandraram-pivezivezena noho ny fisian'ny viriosy A(H1N1) ny OMS.”
27Oh, yes, and another thing: the hajj isn't until November.Eny indrindra, ary manaraka izany: Tsy misy ny hajj raha tsy amin'ny volana novambra indray.
28Am I missing something here?Misy ve ny zaatra noadinoiko?
29Has the hajj ever been postponed for health reasons, in all of Islamic history?Moa va efa nisy fanemorana hajj noho ny antony ara-pahasalamana ve, nandritra ny tantaran'ny finoana Silamo?
30I don't know, but I expect you'd need at least one infected person to justify it.Tsy fantatro, fa manantena aho fa mila olona iray tratrany aloha ianao mba hanamarinana izany.
31(Not only are there no cases in the Middle East, except Israel, but none in Indonesia, Malaysia, Pakistan - well, anywhere Muslim.)(Tsy vitan'ny hoe tsy misy ny trangan'aretina manerana an'i Proche Orient, ankoatra an'Isiraely, fa tsy misy koa any Indonesia, Malaysia, Pakistan - izany hoe any amin'ny toerana be Miozolomana.)
