In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Ever Merciful…<\/em><\/p>\n

Recently, we learned from our respected scholar, Shaykh ‘Abdullah al-Bukhary<\/strong> (may Allah preserve him), that the scholarly differing over the permissibility of vaccines had actually come to an end<\/span> long ago<\/strong>, when he informed us:<\/p>\n

“…The people of knowledge have indeed spoken about this issue, a long time ago, when the issue of vaccinations first came about. Some back and forth discussion took place in the past,<\/strong> until the matter was settled<\/strong><\/span>, that this is one of those issues that does not invalidate tawakkul (trusting Allah) nor contradict it. It is merely an issue of taking legislated steps [of safety]…”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This was surprising for many to learn about, as some had presumed that the scholars still differed over this topic.\u00a0One might say: “Perhaps Shaykh Abdullah al-Bukhary misspoke\u00a0when saying this, as we have not heard this from the people of knowledge (other than him), and claiming consensus is a very serious issue, as an established consensus among the scholars actually ends the discussion.”\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

So in order to\u00a0support the claim of Shaykh Abdullah al-Bukhary, we present a previous citation of scholarly consensus on the permissibility of vaccines from a senior scholar, al-‘Allaamah Saalih al-Fowzaan,<\/strong>\u00a0long-time member of al-Lajnah ad-Daa’imah<\/em> (the Permanent Committee) for Islamic Verdicts and Research (may Allah preserve him), from his lessons on the book, Buloogh al-Maraam<\/em>, which he delivered about 20 years ago. When discussing the topic of the scholarly differing about vaccines and the concerns mentioned by some of the scholars previously, as cited in the book, ad-Durar as-Saniyyah<\/em>, he clarified:<\/p>\n

…However, after that [differing], it became clear, especially after advancements in medicine and the arrival of modern means [of technology, research, etc.], it became clear that there is no harm in it, and nothing prevents it, and all praise is due to Allah. And there is no one at this time from among the scholars who are relied upon<\/span> in these lands, or elsewhere outside of these lands, based on what has reached us, who forbids this, who forbids vaccines<\/strong>, since their benefit has been established, there is no danger (or concern) Islamically within them, and since they are a form of prevention [of illness]. Allah, the Majestic and Most High, has ordered [us] to take preventative measures, and preventative measures are among the steps [taken to obtain safety].<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
