The Muslim community is recommended to take the COVID-19 vaccination as it is a basic necessity to protect ourselves and also those around us. The past religious edicts of MUIS regarding medicine and vaccination have addressed the concerns regarding ingredients that are used.

Thus far, the production process of the COVID-19 vaccine and its ingredients are not in conflict with our past religious edicts. In fact, the processes that are involved to produce the COVID-19 vaccination are not against any principles and values of the Islamic Shariah.
