Question

There is currently a measles outbreak. Are we allowed to give our children the measles vaccine that contains pork?

Answer

Look and try your best to look for a halaal substitute.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
