PANDANGAN FIKIH KEBENCANAAN MUHAMMADIYAH TERHADAP UNDANG-UNDANG NOMOR 24 TAHUN 2007 TENTANG PENANGGULANGAN BENCANA (STUDI KASUS PENANGANAN COVID-19)

The geographic and geological location of Indonesia, the diversity of its population, and its political choice as an open country make the entire territory of Indonesia a disaster-prone area. Geographically and geologically, the country is always under threat of natural disasters. Its political choice as an open country makes this country prone to non-natural disasters in the form of disease spreads. The eruption of Merapi, the Aceh tsunami, the Ambon conflict, and the Covid-19 pandemic are only some evidence. Based on all the threats of disasters, the government is trying to make this potential disaster part of the life of the nation. Mitigation and disaster management efforts are made part of the national development strategy plan. For this reason, in 2007, the Government and the DPR passed Law number 24 of 2007 concerning disaster management as an umbrella law that integrates all regulations concerning disasters in the country which were previously scattered in several overlapping regulations. This normative research with progressive legal theory and maslahah approach shows that in the view of Muhammadiyah disaster jurisprudence there are several gaps in Law number 24 of 2007 that need to be refined. Especially when this Law deals with cases of non-natural disasters caused by disease outbreaks such as Covid-19. There are several legal norms that exist in the Muhammadiyah Disaster Fiqh that can be adopted in perfecting future disaster laws.
