Indonesian Muslims observe second Ramadan since COVID-19

Depok, Apr 13 (EFE/EPA).- Indonesian Muslims celebrated Tuesday the second Ramadan since the Covid-19 pandemic, with reduced mobility and amid a full inoculation campaign, which will not interfere with fasting.The Indonesian Ulema Council, the country's highest authority on Islamic affairs, said in March that the injection of the vaccine does not break the fast and is not considered hydration. It suggested however that they be performed at night to avoid possible adverse effects on bodies weakened by fasting, a criterion not supported by health authorities. Ramadan is the ninth month in the Islamic calendar and it is believed that the revelation of the first verse in Koran was during its last 10 nights.
