The ruling on drawing blood for analysis for the fasting person
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Your Eminence, Shaykh Salih (may Allah preserve you), we begin this episode with a question from Abu 'Umar from Riyadh. He says: Does drawing two vials of blood for analysis break the fast of the fasting person and invalidate the ablution?
The Shaykh:
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and all his Companions. Drawing blood for analysis, if it is a small amount, does not break the fast of the fasting person and does not invalidate the ablution. However, if it is a large amount by custom, it invalidates the ablution and also breaks the fast of the fasting person.
The presenter:
He mentioned that it is two vials, and a vial is approximately the size of a finger.
The Shaykh:
The size of a finger is not a large amount; this is not a large amount.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you,
