Summary
The Johor State Fatwa Committee ruled that using the COVID-19 vaccine is permissible. This was based on its finding that the vaccine approved by the Malaysian Ministry of Health contains no non-halal ingredients or substances considered doubtful under Islamic law. However, if the vaccine causes general and widespread harm to people's physical health and minds, its use is prohibited.
