Urges Indian government to not order the Chinese vaccine that is made of pig s parts
Muslim scholars, also known as ulemas, convened a meeting of clerics and decided that the Chinese vaccines, reportedly made of pork gelatin, cannot be administered to any Muslim.
The decision has been taken as gelatin made of the pig is ‘Haram’ or forbidden for Muslims.
Raza Academy’s Secretary-General, Saeed Noorie, announced the decision and said, “There are reports of a Chinese vaccine with parts of pig’s body. As pig is Haram for Muslims, a vaccine containing its body parts cannot be allowed.”
