Singapore s Mufti, the highest Islamic authority here, has made an executive decision to permit Covid-19 vaccines for Muslims here, regardless of their ingredients, because of the urgency of the situation.
While religious guidance is typically made by the Fatwa Committee, the guidance over the Covid-19 vaccine released on Sunday was made directly from the Office of the Mufti. When the vaccines are available in Singapore for safe use, I would strongly urge the Muslim community to take up the vaccine, as part of our contribution (to society), and not to worry about whether you are allowed to do so, because the religious guidance is very clear on this matter, Mufti Nazirudin Mohd Nasir said yesterday.
Muslims are permitted to take vaccine, says Mufti
