MCB Publishes #SafeRamadan 2021 Guidance

MCB publishes #SafeRamadan 2021 guidance
As British Muslims prepare for the start of the holy month of Ramadan early next week in the midst of lockdown easing, the Muslim Council of Britain today published its #SafeRamadan guidance (PDF) to help communities make the most out of the month safely.
The guidelines are part of the MCB’s continued initiatives since the start of the pandemic to proactively inform and educate Muslim communities in the fight against the virus.
Ramadan is usually a time for Muslims to gather with friends and family and in mosques to break the fast and pray together. Unlike in 2020, this year mosques will be able to open for prayers within COVID19 secure guidelines. However, the absence of large iftar gatherings or visiting family and friends indoors will mean Ramadan 2021 will continue to be largely observed from home with family for most British Muslim.

PORTLAND Islamic leaders are using social media, virtual town halls and face-to-face discussions to spread the word that it’s acceptable to be vaccinated for the coronavirus during daily fasting that happens during Ramadan, the most sacred month of the year for Muslims.
During the holy month which begins next week, Muslims across the world abstain from all food and drink from sunrise to sunset before typically congregating for evening prayers and iftar meals. The vaccine discussion centers on whether an inoculation amounts to the prohibited act of ingesting something while fasting.
