Abstract

COVID came and left bitter memories among human societies, such as the rise of unemployment, leaving many deaths, and an increase of orphans and widows. This undoubtedly negatively affects the social cohesion worldwide. The bitter truth is that orphans of corona victims are one of the painful social and economic consequences of this pandemic. Every society will eventually have to deal with their sponsorship. It also negatively affects the structure and organization of the family due to the large number of victims who were the heads of the families. Therefore, this research aims to clarify the objectives of Sharīʽah in protecting orphans and to reveal the role of the obligatory will (waṣiyyah) in achieving it and the sustainability of sponsoring orphans of Covid-19 and similar humanitarian disasters. This is done by adopting two basic approaches. The first is inductive, and the other is descriptive. The inductive method is used to trace concepts related to the topic in the sources, references, and heritage books. The descriptive approach is used to explain the objectives of Sharīʽah and their importance in achieving social and economic interests, and how they are employed in meeting the needs of orphans in Islamic societies. The study reached some results and recommendations for the coordination and implementation of the obligatory will in the Muslim community to assist orphans from COVID-19, which has caused death of many parents worldwide. And it is worthwhile to activate the system of obligatory will to achieve the public interest of caring of COVID orphans by providing them with the social, economic, and educational needs and including it in a personal status law, if possible. The study suggests further research on a legitimate alternative to care for COVID victims, such as using the Social Endowment to manage the affairs of COVID-19 orphans in the Muslim community.
