The Coronavirus has contributed effectively to the rise of religious fatāwā in all aspects of life, especially related to solidarity. One of the issues related to Coronavirus is the permissibility of paying zakat in advance to the due date to assist those affected by the pandemic. In this context, the religious Moroccan ʿulamāʾ issued a fatwā allowing a man to pay one or two years of zakat in advance to the due date. As a result, there have been numerous discussions around the issuing of this fatwā and other issues such as the role of ʿulamāʾ within Moroccan society during the epidemiological conditions, and re-establishing a formal zakat system. The objective of this article is to shed light on this recent fatwā to explore the causes and circumstances of this legitimate fatwā. It also aims to discuss the evidence used by the Moroccan ʿulamāʾ to issue this fatwā. By examining the Moroccan ʿulamāʾ fatwā, this article aims to show the role of the ʿulamāʾ in their communities during difficult times.
