THE ISLAMIC COMMUNITY in Ireland has criticised an online misinformation campaign aimed at persuading Muslims and other minority groups not to take up the Covid-19 vaccines.
A leading Irish Muslim scholar, Shaykh Dr Umar al-Qadri, says that the Covid-19 vaccines being rolled out nationwide are Halal and fully comply with Islamic religious requirements.
