Introduction In early 2021, the Indonesian Muslim community was shocked by Indonesia's policy of using the AstraZeneca Vaccine to minimize the negative impact of Corona Virus Disease 10 (Covid-. This policy is supported by the Fatwa of the Indonesian Ulema Council (Majelis Ulama Indonesia. MUI) Number 14 of 2021 concerning the Law on the Use of the Covid-19 Vaccine AstraZeneca Products. Although in making the AstraZeneca vaccine, trypsin from pigs is used, the MUI still allows its use in emergency conditions. This fatwa not only caused a polemic in the middle of the season1 but also internally at MUI. 2 The chairman of the MUI for East Java Province.

Therefore, the legal problems of using the AstraZeneca Vaccine in the MUI fatwa are essential for the authors to examine in this paper. The authors have traced several scholars who have studied the fatwas issued by MUI. Among these fatwas are democracy and religious pluralism,3 blasphemy against Islam by Ahok,4 sharia mutual funds,5 and restrictions on religious activities. 6 By using the content analysis approach and Islamic legal philosophy. Moch. Nurcholis found that the determination of the MUI Fatwa Number 14 of 2021 used the maqAsid al-syarAoah paradigm. 7 According to Abdul Khaliq Napitupulu et al. , the fatwa is correct. Napitupulu et al. found three emergency aspects in using the AstraZeneca Vaccine in the Covid-19 pandemic: food and health, al-'usr and umm al-balwa emergencies and darurah al-marAdh. Abdul Hakim and Yazid Imam Bustomi analyzed that the fatwa used a maqAsid alsyarAoah approach to determine the law of al-maslahah al-mursalah in its This paper complements the results of previous research related to the MUI Fatwa Number 14 of 2021.

Use of AstraZeneca Vaccine: Government Policy and Request for Fatwa Since the emergence of the Covid-19 pandemic and the discovery of a vaccine to minimize its impact. AstraZeneca has become widely known by the people of Indonesia. AstraZeneca is a drug organization from the UK that collaborates with Oxford College in creating immunizations against Covid-19. The AstraZeneca immunization was produced using a defenceless variant of the usual cold infection of chimpanzees that has been adapted not to fill people. At a recent start, it still includes more than 20,000 volunteers.

As a world health institution, the World Health Organization (WHO) has determined the Covid-19 Virus as a global pandemic that attacks the world community massively. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Indonesia has begun to make and determine various policies, ranging from lockdowns in large cities to enacting Large-Scale Social Restrictions (PSBB) policies in several areas that are in red zones such as Jakarta. Surabaya. Gresik and Sidoarjo. After the policy, the government implemented the new normal with strict health protocols until early The government, through the Ministry of Home Affairs instruction no. 02 of 2021 stipulates the policy of Enforcement of Restrictions on Community Activities for a small scale from February 9 to 22, 2021. 13 After the implementation of PSBB was deemed ineffective in suppressing the spread of the Covid-19 outbreak, the government-initiated Restrictions on Community Activities on a Microscale (PKMM) based on directions from the Minister Domestically in controlling the spread of Covid-19. Compared to the PSBB policy, the government considers that the PPKM policy is far more effective and efficient in dealing with the transmission of the Covid-19 virus. The Covid-19 immunization program in Indonesia starts on January 13. Immunizations are given to welfare workers, public authorities, and the old for the primary wave. In the next wave, the vaccination goals are weak local areas and the population. Public authorities target 181. 5 million people who received the Coronavirus immunization in March 2022. To meet the goals set by the government. Joko Widodo is trying to ensure the accessibility of antibodies.

This matter aims to harmonize the fatwa with several pre-existing situations and foundations. In general, the determination of fatwas on contemporary problems faced by Muslims is carried out collectively under an institution called the Fatwa Commission. The legal basis used by the Fatwa Commission in a sequence is the Qur'an, hadith, ijmA', qiyAs and other legal bases that can be a justifiable argument . u'taba. After analyzing the object and the socio-religious impact on the issues issued in a comprehensive fatwa, the Fatwa Commission then examines the views of the previous scholars, the opinions of the madhhab priests and the mu'tabar fiqh scholars. The determination of the fatwa must take into account the legal, regulatory authority and consider the public benefit. Regarding the fatwa of using the AstraZeneca Vaccine, the Fatwa Commission has determined that the AstraZeneca Vaccine is haram. The prohibition of the vaccine is due to trypsin from pigs in the manufacturing process. Although the law is haram, the MUI allows Muslims to use it because there are not enough halal vaccines available. The MUI decision is based on Surah Al-Baqarah verses 168, 173, 195, seven hadiths, and twelve fiqh rules. In addition, the determination of the fatwa is also based on nine opinions of ulama, four previous MUI fatwas, and the opinions of several experts such as the Minister of Health. President Director of PT. Biofarma. Head of the Food and Drug Supervisory Agency, the Indonesia Technical Advisory on Immunization (ITAGI) study results, and the MUI Food. Drug and Cosmetics Assessment Institute auditor team. In determining the fatwa, there are two methods used by the Fatwa Commission with several legal arguments to allow the AstraZeneca Vaccine. The first method used is qiyAs. The use of the qiyAs method can be seen in the equation of 'illa law used by the Fatwa Commission, namely kemudharatan.

The AstraZeneca vaccine, which is forbidden by law, may be used by Muslims with the ratio-legis cause ('illah al-huk. that it is harmful. The Fatwa Commission then strengthened its argument by citing seven opinions, namely Imam al-'Izz ibn 'Abdul al-Salam. Imam Nawawi. Imam Muhammad al-Khatib al-Syarbaini. Imam Syihabuddin al-Ramli. Sheikh Ahmad al-Dardir, and Ibn Qudamah. The seven scholars allow the use of illicit goods for treatment. In addition to qiyAs, the Fatwa Commission also uses maqAsid al-syarAoah. There are five elements contained in maqAsid al-syarAoah. protection of religion . ifd al-d. , protection of soul . ifd al-naf. , protection of offspring . ifd al-nas. , protection of reason . ifd al-'aq. , and protection of property . ifd al-mA. 22 The permissibility of using the haram AstraZeneca Vaccine and the limited availability of halal vaccines aims to protect a person's soul by creating herd immunity against Covid-19. The use of maqAsid al-syar'ah can be seen in quoting the rules of fiqh and the opinions of the scholars. There are four fiqh rules used by the Fatwa Commission to protect the soul. First, it is permissible to do what is prohibited . ldharrah tubh al-mahzhra. Second, the danger must be eliminated . l-dharar yuzA. Third, the danger must be prevented as much as possible . l-dharar yudfa' biqadr al-imkA. Fourth, prevention is more important than eliminating . lmasyaqqah tajlib al-tais.

AstraZeneca Vaccine Problems: Response to MUI Fatwa After being set on March 16, 2021, the MUI Fatwa Number 14 of 2021 concerning the Law on the Use of the Covid-19 Vaccine for AstraZeneca Products received various responses from the Muslim community found in several online In general, the authors grouped these responses into two. First, the Muhammad Lutfi Hakim. AuPergeseran Paradigma Maqasid Al-SyariAoah: Dari Klasik sampai Kontemporer,Ay Al-Manahij: Jurnal Kajian Hukum Islam 10, no. 1 (February 22, 2. : 4.

The MUI Fatwa Number 14 of 2021 was responded well by the three preachers most favoured by students on YouTube. 23 Adi Hidayat's opinion regarding the permissibility of using the AstraZeneca Vaccine follows the arguments contained in the MUI Fatwa Number 14 of 2021. Based on the explanation uploaded on the Adi Hidayat Official YouTube Channel. Hidayat explained in detail based on the MUI Fatwa Number 14 of 2021. According to Hidayat, the original law of the AstraZeneca Vaccine is haram. AstraZeneca Vaccine can be used in emergency conditions to create herd immunity in the face of the Covid-19 pandemic. Since it was uploaded on July 25, 2021, this YouTube channel owned by Hidayat has had 2,184,930 viewers. Buya Yahya also expressed a similar response on his YouTube channel called Al-Bahjah TV. Yahya condemned the AstraZeneca vaccine as haram, and Yahya advised Muslims to take halal vaccines. If there are no more halal vaccines other than the AstraZeneca Vaccine, he added, then the use of the AstraZeneca Vaccine is allowed because of a health emergency. Yahya conveyed this opinion on Al-Bahjah TV to answer one of his congregations in Taiwan. Since it was uploaded on August 29, 2021, the Youtube account owned by Yahya has had 519,919 Unlike Hidayat and Yahya, there is no firm opinion from Somad regarding the permissibility of using the AstraZeneca Vaccine. Somad's opinion regarding the feasibility of the AstraZeneca Vaccine can be seen from his statement in the media that he is willing to be vaccinated against AstraZeneca if Saudi Arabia and Egypt allow it. Somad made the two Muslim countries a barometer of the ability of the Ulfah Kurniawati.

AstraZeneca Vaccine because the two Muslim countries were where he studied. Somad's opinion regarding the use of the AstraZeneca Vaccine can also be seen from the use of the AstraZeneca Vaccine in the two countries. 27 Somad's argument against the efficacy of the AstraZeneca vaccine can be seen in his reasoning about the halalness of the Measles-Rubella (MR) Vaccine. Somad analogized the halalness of the Measles-Rubella vaccine between dying or eating pork. Somad argues that you can't die, and it's better to eat pork. 28 The permissibility of using the MR Vaccine follows the MUI Fatwa Number 33 of 2018 concerning the Measles-Rubella Vaccine. Slightly different from the MUI Fatwa and the three YouTube Channel owners most favoured by students, the Bahtsul Masail Institute for the Nahdlatul Ulama Executive Board (LBM PBNU) Number 1 of 2021 concerning Jurisprudence on the Use of the AstraZeneca Vaccine, absolutely allows it. The difference between the fatwas issued by these two fatwa institutions lies in the concept of istihAlah . hange of unclean objects to become hol. LBM PBNU condemns the use of the AstraZeneca vaccine by Muslims because it is sacred and not harmful. The AstraZeneca Vaccine is allowed under normal conditions, especially during an emergency during the Covid-19 pandemic. 30 The determination of this fatwa involves many elements from fiqh experts and experts and is included in the extraordinary bahtsul masA'il.

The difference of opinion between the two groups is not on whether or not to use the AstraZeneca Vaccine but rather on the concept of istihAlah used. IstihAlah is a change like an object into a relatively different object from its previous nature. 32 In fiqh, the concept of istihAlah plays a crucial role in determining whether a substance or object is sacred or not. Although the scholars agree on the concept of istihAlah, they differ on its scope. Imam Shafi'i only limited the halal concept of istihAlah to changing liquor . into vinegar and tanned skin, while Imam Abu Hanifah used the concept more broadly. Abu Hanifah argues that objects that change their unclean content can also eliminate the law of 33 Thus, the MUI Fatwa is more inclined toward the opinion of Imam Syafi'i, who uses the concept of istihAlah in a limited way. At the same time, the Fatwa of LBM PBNU is more accommodating to the concept of istihAlah used by Imam Abu Hanifah. Apart from that, the two fatwa institutions support the government's use of the AstraZeneca Vaccine to create collective immunity. Conclusion The MUI Fatwa Number 14 of 2021 concerning the Law on the Use of the Covid-19 Vaccine for AstraZeneca Products is a direct request from the The government then used this fatwa as a guideline for implementing the AstraZeneca Vaccine, especially for the Muslim community in Indonesia. determining the fatwa on the permissibility of using the AstraZeneca Vaccine in an emergency to create immunity for community groups against Covid-19, the MUI Fatwa Commission uses the qiyAs and maqAsid al-syarAoah methods. The use of these two methods can be seen from the citation of several fiqh rules and opinions of previous scholars.
