This claim of Islamic law is considered to be in harmony with the maqashid syairah which is understood from Abdul Majid Najjar's thoughts about the maqasid hifdzu al karamah al insaniyyah.

“…The final form of respect for the glory or honor that human beings -in this case -is the body of Covid 19, is to take care and to handle according to Islamic legal norms. Therefore, based on the basic principles of maqashid hifdzu al karamah al insaniyyah, the "unjustified" claim of the rejection of the corpse infected by Covid 19 was extracted from 3 authoritative opinions of ulama ', as well as 2 types of fiqh rules above, considered as a product of Islamic law that had been in harmony with maqashid syaria (Labib, 2020).
