Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This woman says: I want to have a blood test for marriage purposes. Does drawing blood break the fast, Honorable Shaykh, for a woman?
Answer:
A small amount of blood does not break the fast. What breaks the fast is a large amount of blood, such as cupping. Cupping breaks the fast of one who is fasting. Likewise, if a large amount of blood is drawn from one who is fasting, it also breaks his fast. As for a small amount of blood, such as a drop or two, or a small wound, this has no effect. Yes.
