For those unsure about fasting and Covid we've looked into this. Firstly there is no link with fasting, Covid & mortality. However as last year was without shops/barbers etc open we need to be as careful now as we were then to keep this true. https://twitter.com/salmanWaqar/status/1377522632963284995?s=20
Secondly, many with long term conditions can safely fast (or use alternative shariah options). See this thread for links to paper and guidance: https://twitter.com/salmanWaqar/status/1376095050363498497?s=20
Getting vaccinated against Covid or swabbed for lateral flow/PCR/LAMP does not invalidate fasting as per the opinion of the vast majority of scholars.
Intolerable side effects from vaccination may happen but preferable to catching Covid! See more here: https://twitter.com/salmanWaqar/status/1362841701518295042?s=20
