Summary
The Sarawak State Fatwa Board ruled that the use of Clexane and Fraxiparine is prohibited because both are produced from sources forbidden in Islam. In general, medicine from forbidden sources may only be used when no halal medicine is available, to avoid harm and only to the extent needed until a halal option is found. Since a halal alternative, Arixtra, is now available with the same function and effectiveness, the necessity exemption no longer applies.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Mesyuarat memutuskan bahawa penggunaan kedua-dua jenis ubat ini adalah ditegah kerana ia dihasilkan dari sumber yang diharamkan oleh Islam.
