ABSTRACT

Ablution in the language means washing, while in Sharia it means washing certain organs with a specific intention, and those organs include the mouth, nose, face, hands, hair, ears and feet.
In the Islamic religion, ablution is required to perform the five daily prayers and the supererogatory prayers. Recent studies have proven the importance of ablution in protecting the body from many diseases, as many disease-causing microorganisms can enter the body through the mouth, nose and ear, and contamination of the hands may cause many diseases. Therefore, we find it necessary to maintain ablution to protect the body from diseases.
Using the media of the day Efforts to stop Covid-19 are now linked to Muslim advice against following cleanliness regulations. All countries throughout the world are presently attempting to prevent and break the chain of distribution of co-19 in various ways. Ranging from large-scale organizations, such as the World Health Organization on an international level, to small-scale groups, such as within the family. All efforts are inextricably linked to the genuineness of each person who fills that function. From the perspective of Islamic principles, this article is inspired by the need to prevent the spread of Covid-19. The goal of this work is to investigate the Covid-19 protocol policy and its impact on wudhu internalization as a means of prevention using a literature review approach that includes government policies and circulars connected to the Covid-19 prevention protocol. According to the findings of this study, every policy or circular issued emphasizes and regulates clean and healthy lifestyles by requiring people to wash their hands thoroughly at all times. As a result, Wudhu' is a Muslim discipline exercise whose implementation is inextricably linked to hand washing. As a result, this research emphasizes a clean and healthy lifestyle as part of prevention efforts. One of the most important ways to fight infection is to cut the chain or prevent the transmission of these epidemics, and personal hygiene is one of the most important ways to break this chain. For more than 1440 years, Islam has called for the importance of ablution, which reaches five times a day. In light of the Covid-19 pandemic, the World Health Organization has clarified the importance of personal hygiene in limiting the spread of Covid 19. So, in this review, the importance of ablution in light of the Covid 19 pandemic will be explained.
