Abstract
Analyses the Construction of the Indonesian Ulema Council Fatwâ on the
Halalness of the Sinovac Covid-19 Vaccine Using Jasser Auda's Perspective of Islamic Law
Development Models. The spread of hoax news related to whether it is safe or not and whether
or not the use of the Covid-19 vaccine is lawful has created a pro-contra attitude among the
Indonesian people towards the Covid-19 vaccination program. For this reason, the Indonesian
Ulema Council (MUI) has issued a fatwâ (legal opinion) to provide legal enlightenment on
the halâl use of the Covid-19 vaccine. This study examines in depth the construction of the
fatwâ and identifies the Islamic law development model used in constructing the fatwâ. This
research is purely philosophical normative and uses the models of Islamic law development
proposed by Jasser Auda. The results of the study conclude that the construction of the MUI
fatwâ on the halalness of the Sinovac vaccine had used a holistic model of Islamic law. This is
indicated by several characteristics inherent in the construction of the fatwâ namely: (i) the
wholeness and multidimensional character, which is indicated by the use of universal textual
arguments ('âm). (ii) the purposive character, which is indicated by the use of various fiqh
rules emphasizing the realization of benefit as the basis and orientation of legal determination.
(iii) the openness character which is indicated by the acceptance of the health and medical
science principles which incidentally is outside the field of Islamic law.
