The ruling on drawing blood for a fasting person during the day of Ramadan
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: Does drawing blood break the fast during the day of Ramadan?
Answer:
Drawing blood falls into two categories. A small amount drawn for a lab test, for a sample for analysis only, does not harm or affect the fast. A large amount, such as that drawn by cupping, or drawn for donation to patients or for emergency aid, breaks the fast. This is because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said regarding cupping: So if a large amount of blood is drawn, it invalidates the fast, just as cupping invalidates the fast, as stated in the authentic hadith. Yes.

أفطر الحاجم والمحجوم.
