Australias Imam asks Muslims not to use COVID-19 vaccine by Oxford University, calls it ‘haram’
A controversial imam in Australia has asked Muslims in the country to not get COVID-19 vaccine developed by Oxford University and AstraZeneca. The imam, Sufyaan Khalifa, has claimed that the vaccine is haram meaning forbidden.
Earlier this month, Australia announced a deal with AstraZeneca to manufacture the vaccine if it is proven safe and preventive. Australia also announced plans to offer the vaccine for free to the entire population.

Khalifa posted a video on his YouTube channel recently through which he claimed that AstraZeneca is making the vaccine by using the foetal cells of an aborted baby in the 1970s. Khalifa said in the video: Shame on some Muslim bodies justifying the use of the vaccine. Shame on any imam who did sign this fatwah.
Earlier, Anthony Fisher, Sydney Archbishop, wrote a letter to Australia PM Scott Morrison and expressed concerns of some Christians over the vaccines apparent use of a cell line derived from an elective abortion performed years ago. The letter was signed by Anglican and Greek Orthodox religious leaders.
