Question
Is it permissible to be vaccinated against measles? Recently a controversy raged on account of the pork content of the vaccines. Please comment. Some Ulama and the Islamic Medical Association said that it is halaal.
Answer
Whether the vaccine contains a swine ingredient or not, vaccination is haraam. It is the injection of filth into the body. Rasulullah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said: "Allah did not create cure for my Ummah in substances made haraam for them." Those who say that filth and poison which destroy human health are halaal are morons regardless of them being 'ulama' or medical practitioners. They are all bootlickers of the western atheists, hence they swallow whatever filth the west disgorges into their mouths.
