eg  :   The present study aims to know the truth about the vaccine of Corona Epidemic (COVID-19), related juristic judgments, the judgement on stealing Corona virus vaccine information, the judgment on conducting human clinical trials for COVID-19, and the judgement on monopoly of Corona virus vaccine.

  This study adopts an inductive approach as it tracks connected points that are related to the topic of the study in ancient and contemporary Fiqh.

It also adopts an evidence-based approach and a deductive approach as it provides evidence for Jurists' sayings and deduces judgments from fundamentals and agreed upon rules based on texts, consensus, and analogical reasoning.

  The study reaches a number of conclusions, most important of which include the following:   First, a vaccine is a substance that protects the body against some diseases; it contains a dead or weak version of a microbe; it helps the human immune system to recognize living microbes or viruses and destroying them when the body gets infected by them again in the future.

  Second, stealing Corona virus vaccine information is a case of infringing on the rights of the inventor or author as the vaccine is a thing that can be stolen.

  Third, clinical trials are specialized scientific medical trials that aim at achieving clinical discovery or testing the effect of a medical product.

They are lawful.

The validity of these clinical trials is not olute; rather it is restricted to conditions that should be fulfilled before conducting these studies and clinical trials on humans.

  Fourth, monopolizing COVID-19 vaccine is unlawful.

The doer of this action is extremely sinful because this action restricts and harms people.

Also, it indicates that this person does not belong to this nation and abandons it during times of distress and adversity.
