Pfizer-Bioentech’s coronavirus vaccine, which was introduced in Britain, is halal, according to the country’s leading medical association and a group of Islamic experts. The British Islamic Medical Association (BIMA) said in a statement that it had verified all published data and confirmed that no animal products or animal cells had been used in the production of the vaccine. Britain’s Lancashire Telegraph reported on Sunday.
Britain is the first country in the world to start administering the Pfizer-Bioentech coronavirus vaccine en masse. Since the vaccine was introduced, expectations have arisen, as well as some questions and concerns. In particular, Islamists living in the country wonder if the material used is Islamic.
Bima said they have spoken with experts in multiple infectious diseases, the pharmaceutical industry, clinical medicine, commissioning, inequality research, public health and bioethics. Analysis of the data showed that no animal products or cells were used in the production of the vaccine.
A fatwa issued by Yusuf Shabbir was supported by Mufti Shabbir Ahmed, Mufti Muhammad Tahir and Maulana Kalingal Riyadh, Consultant to the National Health Service of Great Britain. The fatwa also states that the vaccine is halal based on the information received.
He said the UK government had confirmed that the Pfizer-Bioentech vaccine did not contain any animal components. We asked Pfizer about the vaccine. They told us that. Initially, the only component of concern was cholesterol. Because it may have been extracted from animal fat. Although it is generally collected from chicken eggs.
The fatwa further states that it should be noted that it is allowed to be vaccinated on the basis of Islam. But the decision to get vaccinated is personal. So a word of advice to everyone, read the patient information in the package insert to learn about the risks and benefits of the vaccine. At the same time, you can consult with medical experts for more information.
