“Imam Dr. Hamid Slimi recently received his COVID-19 vaccine at a vaccination clinic in Mississauga.
He has some great advice for the community about getting vaccinated during the month of Ramadan.”
Wondering if getting vaccinated during Ramadan breaks your fast? In our chat with @ihslimi, he says it doesn’t. 💉⬇ pic.twitter.com/b5MxQM6Qv3

“Ramadan 1442 is going to be another different Ramadan but a positive one.
Many of our Muslim community members are asking if they can take the vaccination when fasting.
Yes,
you can.
It doesn’t feed you and it doesn’t quench your thirst.
If you feel dizzy,
which is rare,
and you cannot control your body,
then you are allowed to break your fast.
It is a priority so I would encourage you to take the vaccine.
We pray that you have a wonderful experience and that you keep the memories of this Ramadan for many years to come.
Enjoy it and make the best of it.”
