Taking a Covid-19 swab test does not invalidate a person’s fast , said Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Senator Dr Zulkifli Mohamad Al-BakriZulkifli, who is a former mufti of the Federal Territories, said the insertion of special equipment into the nostrils and the back of the throat at a certain depth does not bring about the impression of eating and drinking that can cause a Muslim’s fast to be invalidated.
“In this regard, we need to consider the exact instruction for the PUI from the MOH. Are they prescribed liquid to drink, medication or injections scheduled and unavoidable? Does the person need to be administered with IV fluid and so on? Meanwhile, Zulkifli supported the suggestion to extend the Dapur It’am kitchen programme to other states but said it needs the approval of the National Security Council and MOH.
Media reports said the Dapur It’am, a concept of cooking in mosques before distributing the food to specific groups, will be practised in certain mosques in the Federal Territories to replace iftar gatherings, as part of efforts to curb the spread of Covid-19 and to abide by the Movement Control Order .
