<![CDATA[During a disease outbreak, vaccination can lead to diverse societal narratives. Some perceive it as conflicting with Islamic law, while others consider it a component of medical practice aimed at preventing viral infections, akin to the treatment employed during the era of the Prophet Muhammad. Vaccination has substantial positive effects, particularly as an antidote to viruses, bolstering the body’s immune system and resistance against disease outbreaks. However, the utilization of vaccination for immunity remains controversial due to the unclear composition of vaccines, rendering its application a matter of deliberation. This paper examines hadiths pertaining to the Prophet’s treatment and contextualizes them within contemporary vaccination challenges. Employing a thematic approach, it analyzes several hadith texts, referencing hadith books, journals, articles, and pertinent references. The study considers the historical, social, cultural, and contemporary context. The conclusion is that hadiths related to medicine during the Prophet’s time can be comprehended in the context of contemporary vaccination. Hadith texts are interpreted as attempts to cure. While intended as a treatment during the Prophet’s time, it can be understood as a form of vaccination: a medicine that safeguards the body (wilāyah al-ḥifẓ) for modern society’s well-being, preventing the spread of diseases and ensures the protection of the soul (ḥifẓ al-nafs).]]>
