Summary
The Muzakarah of the National Fatwa Committee (MKI) ruled that using the Menactra® vaccine is permissible. The ruling rests on the principle that medicines must be made of good (toyyib) and halal materials and must not harm the body or mind. The committee found that its production uses no raw materials from animal sources or religiously doubtful substances, and that it shares no processing lines with non-halal vaccine products.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Sehubungan itu, Muzakarah bersetuju memutuskan bahawa hukum penggunaan Vaksin Menactra® adalah diharuskan.
