Abstract:
The Covid-19 shocked the world upon its existence at the end of
2019. The virus which primarily attacks the respiratory tract, which can lead to
death, was first discovered in the city of Wuhan Hubei, province in China. The
Covid-19 pandemic outbreak has drastically changed human lifestyle across the
world. Most noticeable amongst them is in the economic and livelihood
activities, where people are now discouraged or even prohibited to congregate,
while social distancing and wearing protective protective masks, effectively
reducing economic activities. In addition to the economic impact caused by the
virus on human activities, the virus also has an impact on religious rituals,
Muslims must follow health protocols and carry out worship in their respective
homes. This is the starting point for changes in Muslim religious activities. In
fiqh literature, this form of leniency in worship is called rukshah, which literally
means leniency or leniency. This study is about how people's lifestyles and
religious practices must adapt due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The findings of
this study can be a contribution of Islamic sociology which seeks to take a
portrait of the condition of society in adapting to life during a pandemic and an
analysis of the pattern of life of Islamic society after the Covid-19 pandemic.
