Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This is a question about taking a blood sample for analysis, for testing at the doctor's.
Answer:
There is nothing wrong with a small amount of analysis; there is no harm in one or two drops. This is permissible. What is forbidden is a large amount of blood, taking a large amount of blood that resembles cupping. As for a small amount of blood, it does not invalidate the fast, if Allah wills.
