Question
Swine Flu vaccination has been made compulsory for all those going for Hajj and Umrah. I have read that the Swine Flu vaccine contains pig substances. Will it be permissible to be vaccinated with a pig-vaccine for the purpose of Hajj or Umrah?
Answer
If the Saudi authorities require that everyone entering the country should eat an ounce or more of pork because Saudi Arabia's boss, the U.S.A., believes that pork is a wonderful remedy, will it be permissible to consume the pork for the purpose of gaining admission to the country to perform Hajj/Umrah? Obviously not. If performance of Hajj/Umrah is dependent on consuming even a little pork, it will not be permissible to go for Hajj/Umrah. Similarly it is not permissible to submit to this haraam vaccination plot simply for the sake of going for Hajj/Umrah. It is not permissible to inject the haraam vaccine into the body. Besides the vaccine being extremely harmful, we are told that it contains a pig substance. It is not permissible to go for Hajj or Umrah if one is compelled to take this haraam vaccine.
