Keeping the rights of people seeking justice to continue litigating during the Covid-19 pandemic while simultaneously guaranteeing the safety of those infected with the virus is problematic in the field of law enforcement and justice during the Covid-19 epidemic. As a result, the government through the Supreme Court of Indonesia used the Salus Populi Suprema Lex Esto principle which means that people's safety is the highest law by passively using technology in litigation and increasing the supporting facilities for strict health protocols throughout the judiciary, including the Sungguminasa Religious Court. In the context of Maqashid Syariah, the goal of this study was to show and explain the harmony of the use of the Salus Populu Suprema Lex Esto Principle during the Covid-19 Pandemic.
