Malaysia referred to world-renowned ulama on vaccination fatwa - Zulkifli
Malaysia has obtained the views and explanations of the world's leading Muslim scholars or ulama on the fatwa of receiving the Covid-19 vaccine.
Minister in the Prime Minister's Department (Religious Affairs) Senator Zulkifli Mohamad Al-Bakri (above) said he had sent letters to several scholars over the matter, including the Grand Imam of Al-Azhar Sheikh Ahmed el-Tayeb, Egypt Mufti Shawki Allam and Fatwa Council of the United Arab Emirates chairperson Sheikh Abdullah Ben Bayyah...
Am I supposed to be glad and relieved that ulamas the world over have given their imprimatur to the vaccine? Frankly, my dear, I wouldn’t give a hoot if they didn’t.

I suppose then it would have been banned and everyone, including non-Muslims, would be compelled to turn to warm holy water.
