The Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has caused health, economic, and social challenges globally. Under these circumstances, effective vaccines play a critical role in saving lives, improving population health, and facilitating economic recovery. In Muslim-majority countries, Islamic jurisprudence, which places great importance on sanctity and safety of human life and protection of livelihoods, may influence vaccine uptake. Efforts to protect humans, such as vaccines, are highly encouraged in Islam. However, concerns about vaccine products' (permissible to consume by Islamic law) status and potential harm can inhibit acceptance. Fatwa councils agree that vaccines are necessary in the context of our current pandemic; receiving a COVID-19 vaccination is actually a form of compliance with Sharia law. Broader use of animal component free reagents during manufacturing may further increase acceptance among Muslims. We herein explain the interplay between (Islamic law) and scientific considerations in addressing the challenge of COVID-19 vaccine acceptance, particularly in Muslim populations.
2019年冠状病毒病（COVID-19）大流行在全球范围内引发了健康、经济和社会挑战。在这种情况下，有效的疫苗对于拯救生命、改善民众健康以及促进经济复苏起着至关重要的作用。在穆斯林占多数的国家，高度重视人类生命的神圣性和安全性以及生计保护的伊斯兰教法可能会影响疫苗的接种率。伊斯兰教大力鼓励采取诸如疫苗等保护人类的措施。然而，对疫苗产品（根据伊斯兰法律是否可食用）的地位以及潜在危害的担忧可能会抑制人们对疫苗的接受。法特瓦委员会一致认为，在当前大流行的背景下疫苗是必要的；接种COVID-19疫苗实际上是一种遵守伊斯兰教法的形式。在生产过程中更广泛地使用无动物成分的试剂可能会进一步提高穆斯林群体对疫苗的接受度。我们在此解释在应对COVID-19疫苗接受度挑战方面，尤其是在穆斯林人群中，伊斯兰教法与科学考量之间的相互作用。
