Many pandemic diseases occurred in the history of Islam as well as in the era of the Prophet (S.A.W) such as plague, smallpox, and Leprosy. Like these epidemic diseases, the novel coronavirus 19 is also a contagious pandemic disease that came in the twenty-first century. This research aims to know how any pandemic disease came then how it should be dealt with according to Shariah. The methodology adopted for conducting this research is qualitative as it includes the material taken from primary and secondary sources of Islam.
