The debate over the use of pork in the Corona vaccine continues among Islamic religious leaders around the world. Meanwhile, the top Islamic body of the United Arab Emirates has said that even if the vaccine contains pork, they do not have problems and will get vaccinated. According to the news agency AP, the UAE’s top Islamic body ‘UAE Fatwa Council’ has justified the use of gelatin of pork (pork) in Corona virus vaccines, even for Muslims. But there is confusion among Islamic religious leaders around the world as to whether Kovid-19 vaccines made using pork are justified under Islamic law.
Council President Sheikh Abdullah bin Bayya said that corona virus vaccines could be kept separate from Islamic sanctions if there was no other option as the first priority was to ‘save the life of man’. The council said that in this case pork-gelatin is to be used as a medicine and not as a food. In fact, pork gelatin is commonly used in vaccines and this has led to a growing concern among Muslims who consider the use of pork products under Islamic law to be ‘haram’.

What to say
Salman Waqar, general secretary of the British Islamic Medical Association, states that ‘Orthodox is in a dilemma over the use of vaccines among various religious communities, including Jews and Muslims, who consider the use of products made from pork meat religiously profane. Dr Harnur Rashid, an assistant professor at the University of Sydney, says the consensus so far in various debates on the use of pork gelatin in vaccines has been that it is acceptable under Islamic law, because if vaccines were not used, ‘great harm’ ‘ Will happen.
Rabbi David Stave, president of Israel’s rabbinic organization Zohar, said, “According to Jewish laws, eating or using pork is only valid if it does not work without it.” If taken and not eaten, it is justified and there is no problem with it. Its use is particularly legitimate in the case of disease.
