Summary
The Perlis Fatwa Committee ruled that a vaccine injection does not invalidate the fast. This applies to medical injections that do not pass through an open cavity. The injection must also not serve as a substitute for eating and drinking.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Suntikan perubatan yang tidak melalui rongga terbuka dan bukan sebagai gantian kepada makan dan minum termasuk vaksin tidak membatalkan puasa.
