Completely FAKE!

Here is my open challenge.

Ibn Sina's book on Medicine is available online. Show me where he says talks about Quarantine.

Show me where he says "Isolate people for 40 days"!

Link of the book: https://archive.org/details/CanonOfMedicine/page/n14/mode/2up https://twitter.com/_sabanaqvi/status/1247215063766720522
Siasat daily and Saba Naqvi have perfected the art of FAKE news.

Article links a short video about Ibn Sina as a source .

While the video talks about general achievements of Ibn Sina, there is NO MENTION of Quarantine AT ALL
The source given by the Siasat article is an Islamic Magazine of Turkey known as "Foundation Magazine" (Sızıntı).

This magazine gives NO SOURCE at all

To sum up, an Islamic Magazine from Turkey makes a FAKE claim that Ibn Sina talked about Quarantine.

It gives no source AT ALL.

Siasat reproduces the content of the Islamic magazine as if it were a veritable source!

Salma quoting Sabrina, as a wise man once said!
There was NO CONCEPT of Quarantine in Islamic middle ages.

There were Bimaristan (primitive hospitals) wherein leprosy patients were segregated/shunned because of the fear that the disease would spread on contact.

That was closest they could get to the idea of Quarantine
