Summary
Muslims around the world including Muslims in Indonesia feel the impact caused by the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The religious social life of Muslims was 'slightly disturbed' during the COVID-19 pandemic. Some Muslims perform ritual worship activities in mosques or affordable places before this outbreak occurs. Muslims need fatwa as a legal solution that occurs in the middle of society. Fatwa acts as a reference source for religious social guidance. Fatwa products become historical records which are a source of reference to the condition of the people at a certain time.. The fatwa plays one of its important roles as an instrument of social change. Fatwa becomes a link between religious idealism and the reality of social change and becomes a driver of social change through the authority of ulama or mufti (individually and institutionally) to carry out social engineering in order to direct, change and improve the state of society that needs.
