Text of excerpt, if available
Social distancing is a misnomer because social distancing means you have to keep socially apart, which is prohibited in Islam. We know today that the world has advanced. We know we can socially be connected to a person, even if you are tons of miles apart, a person living in America and be socially connected to a person living in Bangladesh or India or Pakistan to the social media. That for the school, social media, we can socialize with each other. We don't have to be physically close.
