Summary
The 92nd Muzakarah of the National Fatwa Committee (December 2010) ruled that taking the HPV vaccine is permissible to prevent cervical cancer among women. This applies when the vaccine has been verified to contain nothing doubtful in its ingredients and to cause no harm. The vaccination must also not involve exploitation of recipients or be used for purposes contrary to Islamic law.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
pengambilan Vaksin Human Papilloma (HPV) yang telah dipastikan tiada unsur meragukan dalam kandungannya dan tidak mendatangkan kemudharatan adalah diharuskan bagi mencegah penyakit kanser pangkal rahim (servik) di kalangan wanita.
