Is the bleeding of blood from the human body considered one of the things that break the fast?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : The questioner says: If a person fiddles with his nose and blood comes out of it, and he knows that he is fasting, meaning he is not forgetful, what is the ruling on that?
Answer : The ruling on this is that this blood does not break the fast, because blood coming out does not break the fast unless it is by cupping or something similar to it in terms of a large amount of blood that causes weakness in the body, requiring food and drink to restore its strength. So, if a person is compelled to undergo cupping, for example, and he does so, we tell him: You have broken your fast, so eat and drink until you restore your body's strength. As for the small amount of blood that comes out of a person, even intentionally, this does not harm and does not affect the fast in any way. Likewise, if a large amount of blood comes out without the person's choice, such as if he is injured in an accident and bleeds a lot, he does not break his fast by that. However, in any case, if his fast is broken and he is affected by this accident to the extent that it becomes permissible for him to break his fast, then he breaks his fast and makes it up.
