Movement Control Order (MCO): An Syar'iyyah Political Approach

Abstract

Covid-19 is a pandemic that has been declared by the World Health Organization (WHO) as a pandemic
that has claimed many lives around the world. As of January 1, 2021, the world has recorded at least two
million infected victims. Implementing the movement control order is one of the best ways implemented
by the government today in curbing the Covid-19 epidemic until a vaccine is available. The method of
discussion found in this article is based on document analysis by referring to authoritative books, journals,
articles, and websites. The study's findings found that the Movement Control Order implemented by the
Malaysian government is based on 'Siyasah Syar'iyyah' in maintaining and curbing the spread of Covid19 in Malaysia.
