Fake vaccination certificate

Question

Will it be permissible to get the Yellow fever and Meningitis certificate, without taking the vaccine for Hajj?

Answer

The Darul Ifta does not approve of purchasing fake vaccinations cards as this is pure deception. On one hand, a person is undertaking a journey to the house of Allah, but at the same time, he is engaging in deception. Further, such actions will prove to be a means of humiliation and disgrace for the Muslim Ummah if one is arrested. Bringing humiliation and disgrace upon the Muslims is not permissible. We, therefore, advise abstention from acquiring such cards.
