Abstract

This paper contributes to the discussion forum of King Abdulaziz University for Islamic Economics on the economic, social and legal implications of the coronavirus. It aims to record some observations about the main paper of the forum and provide additional discussion of the economic, social and legal implications. In addition, it proposes solutions to these repercussions based on the principles of Islamic law and its overall objectives. The paper notes that efforts to monitor and analyze these repercussions were undoubtedly significant. However, some of them were characterized by a lack of precision and a piecemeal approach. It deals with some of the proposed solutions, especially on the economic side. The paper concludes that the proposed solutions for overcoming the repercussions of coronavirus according to the Islamic perspective must be based on the comprehensive objectives of the Shariah. Moreover, they must adopt an objective analysis of the facets of these repercussions according to the requirements of systematic research and analysis. This will ensure discipline in the analysis and comprehensiveness in the proposals. . تُسهم هذه الورقة في منتدى نقاش مجلة جامعة الملك عبدالعزيز للاقتصاد الإسلامي عن التداعيات الاقتصادية والاجتماعية والقانونية لفيروس كُورونا، وتروم تسجيل بعض الملحوظات حول الورقة الرئيسة في المنتدى، وتقديم إضافات تتناول مناقشة التداعيات الاقتصادية والاجتماعية والقانونية، واقتراح حلول لهذه التداعيات تؤسس على مبادئ الشريعة الإسلامية ومقاصدها الكلية. وقد لاحظت الورقة أن الجهود المبذولة لرصد هذه التداعيات وتحليلها كانت دون شك معتبرة؛ غير أنها اتسمت في بعضها بعدم الدقة والمقاربة التجزيئية، والأمر يتناول بعض الحلول المقترحة لاسيما في الجانب الاقتصادي. وخلصت الورقة إلى أن الحلول المقترحة لتجاوز تداعيات كورونا وفق المنظور الإسلامي يجب أن تنطلق من مقاصد الشريعة الكلية وتعتمد التحليل الموضوعي لجوانب هذه التداعيات وفق مقتضيات البحث والتحليل المنهجي، وهو ما يضمن انضباطًا في التحليل وشمولاً في المقترحات.
