We have Sister Shazia emails and says that the COVID vaccine has come out

But they do not know when they will be scheduled for it and Ramadan is coming up

And so is it allowed to obtain the vaccine shot while fasting?

Because if she turns it down, Allah who I don't want the next time is going to come and so she's worried about the shot meaning

Is it affecting the fast or not?

And the response to this is a very easy one. I've given a much longer Q&A about the

The Firk of fasting and whether shots break the faster or not medical shots break the faster or not

But because of the COVID season and because this is a question that is going to be on the minds of many people

I'll just give a very quick answer the vast majority of modern scholars and pretty much all of the Firk councils in the world

Including the Firk Council that is based in Makkah and the European Firk Council and the councils that are

Generally recognized as being authoritative. They all have said that

Injections that are non-nutrients so an injection that is numbing an injection that is this type of vaccination

That those types of injections do not break the fast

I repeat those injections do not break the fast the fast will be broken if you take an injection that is meant for

Energy like glucose or something of this nature then the fast will be broken

Therefore take the COVID vaccination shot as soon as you can

And this is something that I strongly encourage you and by the way

I myself in Hamdulillah have been able to take both of the shots and you don't see any side effects at all

So please do take it and don't worry about the scheduling as soon as you get the schedule

Take it even if it is the day of Ramadan

It has nothing to do with the fast and your fast will be valid
