Dr Kashif Aziz confirmed that getting the jab does not break the fast
A top south west London GP says that Ramadan should not stop anyone from getting the Covid-19 vaccination.
Dr Kashif Aziz, confirmed that getting the jab does not break the fast observed by Muslims during daylight hours over Ramadan and that this is the confirmed opinion of the vast majority of scholars.
Some NHS vaccination sites across England are extending their opening hours so that Muslims can receive the jab after they have eaten and make it easier for people to find a convenient slot.
However, Dr Aziz a practising Muslim who works at Sutton Medical Centre, said that there was no need to avoid daylight hours and it is a religious duty for Muslims to get vaccinated when their turn comes.
