PUTRAJAYA – The outcome of the Special Muzakarah Committee Meeting on the use of the Covid-19 vaccine among Muslims in Malaysia is expected to be known next week after the matter is presented to and approved by the Yang di-Pertuan Agong and Conference of Rulers.

Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Religious Affairs) Datuk Seri Zulkifli Mohamad Al-Bakri said the committee meeting was held yesterday to discuss matters pertaining to the use of the vaccine.

“The matter has been discussed, but we will present it (the outcome) to the Yang di-Pertuan Agong first.

“Inshaallah, next week, we will issue a statement,” he told reporters here today.

He said he is in the midst of publishing a 40-page magazine explaining the use of vaccines among Muslims in an effort to provide clarity on the matter. – Bernama, December 4, 2020
