The Ruling on Blood Donation

Question : Yes. I am present, O mother. Is it? Yes.

Answer : Blood donation is an act of excellence (ihsan) toward others. So, if we find a patient who needs blood, and we find another person whose blood matches the patient's blood—because blood types differ—and the doctors say that taking blood from this person and giving it to the patient will not harm the donor in any way, then there is no doubt that it is an act of excellence for a person to donate. Yes. No, no, because the one who donates blood gives the blood even if he is not in need of having it extracted.
