Abstract:

This research aims to highlight the correct doctrine approach in dealing with epidemic to contribute to detect doctrinal violations breaches that spread in times of epidemics especially to warn people not to commit them. As some people are weak-spirited during times of crises so they get exposed financially and psychologically to frauds and imposters who spread heresy and superstition; thus, they turn out what they think that it's their survival for them but the fact is that it's their destruction. Since doctrinal violations in times of epidemics have various forms and the violation nature of each form differs from the other it has been necessary to collect and monitor what people commit concerning the violation of the correct doctrine in the time of epidemics, as well as showing it and detecting its wrong doing and danger to make people take care of it, and study of the correct doctrine method in dealing with the tribulation with epidemics and highlight it to be distinguished from heresy.

This study came out with an introduction about explaining the Sharia (law) preservation of the religion and three topics:

First topic: Definition of epidemics and explaining the prophetic guidance in dealing with them. The Second topic monitors: doctrinal violations resulting from failure to follow the prophetic guidance, while the third topic: combines doctrinal violations resulting from sedition with false reasons.

The conclusion includes the most important findings: involvement of societal behavior often upon the occurrence of epidemics and pandemics in similar practices that violate the correct doctrine out of anxiety or ignorance. It also includes the importance of the correct doctrinal approach in facing epidemics and the necessity to spread it and guide people to it. In addition to that the spread of practices and behaviors which are contrary to the Islamic doctrine in the time of (Covid-19) pandemic varies in its provisions and forms and requires awareness, attention and warning from the specialists.

The conclusion also shows the exploitation of pandemic circumstances by heretics to spread their falsehood including modern esoteric thought and its spiritual practices under the pretext of prevention or treatment. In addition, the doctrinal violations that occur during in times of epidemics differ in their provision and the prohibition severity from falling in polytheism or minor disbelief or forbidden heresies which contradicts monotheism or its perfection, and from committing disapproved acts that contradict the desirable faith perfection as not all doctrinal violations make people who commit them fall in atheism and disbelief so it is necessary to warn about the subject of disbelief and explain its controls to Islamic preachers and officials.

The study recommends spreading the correct prophetic guidance in times of epidemics among people and motivating them to implement it, as it is a guarantee of their religion and health and a motivation for compliance with official precautionary measures because it is consistent with them. The study also recommends linking health awareness to the faith and doctrinal aspect and linking it to the guidance of the PSrophet Muhammad (PBUH) and Muslim belief in reward and punishment from Allah Almighty; thus, it strengthens people's abidance with these instructions .
