Summary
The Sarawak State Fatwa Council ruled that taking the HPV vaccine is permissible to prevent cervical cancer among women. This is conditional on the vaccine's contents having been verified as free of doubtful elements and as not causing harm. The vaccination must also not involve exploitation of users 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.
