PUTEH: The Covid-19 vaccine, to be distributed nationwide starting from the end of this month, does not contradict Islam and Muslims should not have any reservations about it.
PAS Dewan Ulama chief, Dr Nik Muhammad Zawawi Salleh said that Muslims, in fact, must accept it based on several basic principles stipulated in Islam, namely, to protect harmony in Islam, health, property, lives and the economic sector.
“It (the Covid-19 threat) prevents Muslims from performing congregational obligatory prayers and Friday prayers in mosques, and severing ties when they cannot communicate with and visit relatives and friends in difficulties.
