The Effect of Blood Draw for Analysis on Fasting
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
To you, and this matter says: Does the transfer during the gathering of Ramadan break the fast?
Answer:
Meaning, drawing blood for analysis. Yes, if the blood is a large amount, it breaks the fast because it weakens the person. If a large amount of blood is drawn from him, this weakens him from fasting and continuing the fast. However, if the blood is a small amount for analysis, a drop or two or something like that, this does not harm, because it does not weaken him and it does not resemble cupping. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said regarding cupping: And cupping is drawing a large amount of blood. So what resembles cupping breaks the fast, and what does not resemble it does not break the fast.
