And I heard thereis a market where some evil cruel Chinese people, eat live animals such as bats, rats, and snakes and so one YAK! so some peoplesay thats how the virus begun. And some chinese are saying the US army went to china and made it up lol, so I believe it could be a punishment of Allah and also a lesson to be learn, Allah knows best. So what's your opinion and what can you back it up with?
wa'alaykumussalaam It does seem as punishment from Allah as the Chinese government have taken many actions against Islam, as well as oppressing the Uyghur muslims.
Allah is certainly able to send punishment of all kinds, from where they perceive and not perceive : the US, disease from the animals, lack of hygiene in the market and animal cage/tank, lab experiment (there is a story about a shop that bought dead bats from someone who worked in the lab in Wuhan. These bats were previously subjected to lab experiments)?
And how many a generation before them did We destroy, who were greater than them in [striking] power and had explored throughout the lands. Is there any place of escape? (Qaf 36)

But Allah already said : And recite, [O Muhammad], what has been revealed to you of the Book of your Lord. There is no changer of His words, and never will you find in other than Him a refuge. (Al-Kahf 27)

Allowing, supporting the sale of what Allah has prohibited to eat

Allah said in the Qur'an : Prohibited to you are dead animals, blood, the flesh of swine, and that which has been dedicated to other than Allah , and [those animals] killed by strangling or by a violent blow or by a head-long fall or by the goring of horns, and those from which a wild animal has eaten, except what you [are able to] slaughter [before its death], and those which are sacrificed on stone altars, and [prohibited is] that you seek decision through divining arrows. That is grave disobedience. This day those who disbelieve have despaired of [defeating] your religion; so fear them not, but fear Me. This day I have perfected for you your religion and completed My favor upon you and have approved for you Islam as religion. But whoever is forced by severe hunger with no inclination to sin - then indeed, Allah is Forgiving and Merciful. (Al-Ma'idah 3)
And say, "The truth is from your Lord, so whoever wills - let him believe; and whoever wills - let him disbelieve." Indeed, We have prepared for the wrongdoers a fire whose walls will surround them. And if they call for relief, they will be relieved with water like murky oil, which scalds [their] faces. Wretched is the drink, and evil is the resting place. (Al-Kahf 29)
Did they not know that Allah knows their secrets and their private conversations and that Allah is the Knower of the unseen?(At-Tawbah 78)
But Allah is Most Just and Merciful. If they repent and stop what they are doing, inshaAllah He will accept
