Abstract

Acts of worship have a high importance in the Islamic Shariah (Law). Every act of worship has a reformist impact on the health of soul, ethics and relation to Allah. The research problem can be traced in performing acts of worship during the pandemic according to the legal reasoning at that time. The research aims to state the ruling of performing the exceptional acts of worship during the pandemic according to the legal reasoning at that time. This study relied on qualitative methodology through tracing the rulings and providing comprehensive interpretations. The results showed that performing acts of worship during the pandemic is valid based on a legal opinion at that time, and that the emergence of a new legal opinion does not invalidate the initial one. Moreover, the occurrence of errors in exceptional acts of worship was not based on definitive judgment but rather arose based on another assumption.
