Sikap Muslim Terhadap Wabah Covid-19 Dalam Perspektif Maqashid Syari’ah

Abstract

The outbreak of the Covid-19 virus which has become a global pandemic has led to a new policy to avoid spreading and transmitting the virus. One of them is the worship policy for Muslims which is responded by MUI and Hai'ah Kibar Ulama Al-Azhar. This study aims to determine the role of Maqashid Shari'ah to find out the purpose of the existence of a law, one of which issued by scholars in dealing with the current emergency conditions. In the context of the covid-19 virus outbreak, eliminating Friday prayers and congregational prayers is a dharuriyat case (primary), because the implementation of the worship raises a crowd that has the potential to cause transmission of the virus, the dharuriyat case is the benefit that must be maintained, as the essence of the Maqashid Sharia.
