Disruption of Fatwas During the COVID-19 Pandemic and Its Impact on Community Stability

Abstract

Recently, fear and panic have surged with the emergence of the coronavirus, which began in China, specifically in Wuhan, in December 2019, and spread globally. The global economy and human resources were severely impacted, causing a decline in oil prices and stock markets. The fear of the disease and its spread led to people being isolated in their homes, nations implementing quarantine measures, travel restrictions, and increased demand for home supplies, including food and medicine. Many people lost their jobs and employment.
