The Islamic month of fasting — Ramzan or Ramadan, began in India on Wednesday, 14 April 2021, fuelling apprehension that the holy month meant for prayers and spirituality, may lead to vaccine hesitancy.

Taking a lead of sorts, the president for the affairs of the Grand Mosque of Makkah and the Prophet’s Mosque at Medina, Saudi Arabia, Sheikh Dr Abdul-Rahman Ibn Abdulaziz al-Sudais has given the ruling that coronavirus vaccine jab would not invalidate fasting. The message was floated to Muslim community members in Indore as well.

With the second wave of corona taking over almost every household, the pandemic is challenging every life around the city and country.
