Thanks for the photos. The disease on your fig leaves is powdery mildew, a fungal disease. The damp soil favors the disease development. Please remove all the infected leaves and burn them. Water only when it is necessary.
The disease transmits from one leaves/ plants to another by flashing water. Avoid sprinkling water on plants.

Thank you Ravi, I will try it. Should I get any fungal treatment for the tree? It is 5 months old. about 8 years ago.

If the disease is severe you can spray diluted hydrogen peroxide (1 part of hydrogen peroxide in 9 parts of water) once a week. about 8 years ago.
