Abstract
The covid-19 pandemic with all its underlined devastating
medical challenges has come and gone. This study however
brings back the painful memories of the pandemic with a view to
examining what indices may again have the potential to bring
about its possible future outbreak. The study particularly aims at
exploring the checkmating roles of Islamic law on this global life-
threatening calamity. The objectives in this work are to propose
an integration of the therapeutic guidance of Islamic law with
orthodox medical contributions of scientists (vaccinations,
majorly). The hybrid of these twin variables is considered
imminent to offer better relief and wellness when needed. This is
moreso that the so-called scientific interventions, while the
Covid-19 lasted, were not free from harsh side effects such as the
inflammation of the heart muscle and the lining after the heart.
This research employs a qualitative approach through library
research, utilizing, content analysis of literature related to the
subject of focus. Findings indicate that though the pandemic’s
intensity has long subsided, factors such as increased human-
animal interaction, urban overcrowding and climate change
among others can contribute to reoccurrence of the pandemic at
any time. The work further finds that plethora of guidelines exist
in the Qur’an and Sunnah which offer Islamic way-out from
illnesses and pandemics.
