Abstract
This study explores Islamic law’s flexibility in addressing global humanitarian issues, particularly the COVID-19 pandemic in Lampung Province, Indonesia. The research investigates how Islamic teachings can be applied flexibly to benefit humanity through a literature review and field study methods. The study found that the policies implemented by the local and central governments in Lampung Province align with the values of religious teachings, particularly in safeguarding the human soul (hifdz nafs), the highest value before property and religion. The policy limits people’s worship and social and economic activities, but these restrictions are necessary to prevent and overcome the spread of the virus. This study concludes that religious teachings are flexible and can be applied creatively to address humanitarian crises, including the COVID-19 pandemic.
 Keywords: Flexibility of Islamic law, Global humanitarian issues, COVID-19 pandemic.
