Vaccination Do Not Break Fasting in Ramadan, iiQ8
Kuwait authorities say vaccines do not break fast
Residents and citizens can get the jab if they are fasting during Ramadan
Kuwait City: On Wednesday, the Ifta authority, the Ministry of Endowments, and Islamic Affairs pointed out that the #COVID-19 vaccine does not break one’s fast.
As Ramadan is a few weeks away, the announcement was made in a press statement to clarify that residents and citizens can get the COVID-19 jab even if they are fasting during the day.
The fatwa added that if a patient gets too tired after receiving the vaccine or the doctor advises the patient to break his fast then it is permissible for the person to break their fast and make it up at other times.
Vaccination process
The fatwa came as the Ministry of Health is planning on continuing it’s vaccination campaign throughout the holy month of Ramadan in order to have achieved it’s milestone of vaccinating two million residents and citizens by September.
As part of its mass vaccination campaign, the Ministry of Health will begin vaccinating all public and service based employees at the end of the month. The aim is to vaccinate employees in supermarkets, restaurants, malls and gyms, as well as commercial centres.
As of three days ago, around one million people have registered for the vaccine, of which 500,000 received at least the first jab. The Minister of Health, Dr. Basel Al Sabah, called on all residents and citizens to adhere to the health measures and encouraged those that have not registered for the COVID-19 vaccine to do so.
