The existence of this policy dilemma is caused by the many different perceptions and understanding about the pandemic amongst the community. The difference in people's perceptions and understandings led to controversy about the existence of the homecoming ban policy. Based on the problems above, this literature-based study aims to describe and answer the dilemma of the prohibition of going home through the fiqh wabah approach. The fikih wabah is a new fiqh design with dimensions on a mashlahah-based approach model. Through in-depth discussion and analysis, this study found that the policy for the prohibition of going home for Eid in 2021 is the actualization of the concept of fiqh wabah, because the policy is based on prioritizing mafsadat prevention and subsequently taking mashlahah.
