The Argument Structures of Seven MUI Fatwas on the Pandemic Throughout 2020: How They Nurture the People Maslahah

Abstract

. This paper analyzes seven MUI fatwas related to the pandemic that was produced throughout 2020 from the aspect of the argumentation structure used. This research is literature research with qualitative method and Usul Fiqh approach. The source of data in this study is literature which was analyzed using content analysis techniques. This paper shows the fact that in issuing a fatwa, although with a relatively narrow and close time span, MUI has tried hard to carry out its role to provide guidance and guidance to Indonesian Muslims in realizing religious and social life. From the structure of the arguments for the seven fatwas, it also seems to be an indication of the openness of the MUI and an indication of the close relationship between the MUI and the government.
