The halal status of vaccines had previously become an issue in 2018, during a government measles and rubella vaccination campaign. At the time, the MUI issued a fatwa declaring that the measles-rubella (MR) vaccine was mubah (permitted for use by Muslims) despite containing materials derived from pigs, because a halal vaccine had yet to be made, constituting a "sharia emergency." However, despite the fatwa, the Riau Islands chapter of the MUI still urged Muslims to reject the vaccine. "If the MR vaccine is really so important then we call on the government to quickly make one that is halal and safe for Muslims," Riau Islands MUI secretary Ustadz Santoso said at the time. (kmt)
