Among other things, vaccination in the month of Ramadan does not cancel fasting. The implementation of swab test either through the nose or mouth also does invalidate the fast.
"Likewise, the rapid test using blood sampling and the use of Genose with breath samples [do not invalidate the fast]," Asrorun added.
Regarding the implementation of health protocols during Ramadan, MUI called on the Muslims to strictly adhere to the acts of worship that bring them closer to God. People were encouraged to minimize physical contact, bring their own prayer mats, and also wash their hands diligently.
Asrorun said every Muslim is obliged to participate in efforts to break the chain of spreading Covid-19.
