“…The commandment of the Indonesian government concerning guidelines for the implementation of religious activities in worship places, realizing a productive and safe society during the COVID-19 pandemic has not been maximally socialized (Kim, 2022). In fact, only a few Muslims understand that there is a fatwa from the great Ulema of Al Azhar University to Muslims worldwide to prevent the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic by avoiding jamaah or congregationalbased prayers in mosques for a while during the pandemic (Syakur, 2020).…”

<p>Many offenses have been perpetrated by Indonesian religious communities toward the government’s policies on the restriction of congregational worshipping during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, scant studies investigating those negative attitudes using a qualitative approach. In order to fill the gap, this paper reports on the religious attitudes of Muslims who are considered to violate the restriction policy on religious activities ordered by the Indonesian government. The involved participants were policymakers, mosque caretakers, and the three largest Muslim social groups, including Muhammadiyah, Nahdlatul Ulema (NU), and traditionalists. The results of this study revealed discrepancies in how Muslims' polarized religious attitudes are constructed. These communities have different patterns of thought and diversity in terms of perceiving the government’s policies. This study suggests that there is a critical role for Islamic scholars in educating Muslims about the dangers and possible consequences of COVID-19. In other words, following government policies while partaking in congregational worship can be interpreted as a manifestation of social piety, spiritual activity, and religious faith.</p>
