Coronavirus or severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is a virus that attacks the respiratory system. The disease due to this viral infection is called COVID-19. Coronavirus can cause mild disorders of the respiratory system, severe lung infections, and death. Imam Bukhari wrote that Bukhoor is known to be an excellent aroma to strengthen the body and mind. The Prophet (SAW) said: "Indulge in raw Arabian incense (Oud Al-Arab) to have the cure for seven ailments; by smelling the fragrance if someone has throat problems and by putting it in the mouth (smoked like a candy pen) when suffering from pleurisy."
