The Ruling on Donating Blood While Fasting
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, does donating blood fall under the ruling of cupping?
Answer:
Yes, any drawing of blood, any drawing of blood for any purpose, whether for cupping, for bloodletting, or for a blood test, if a large amount of blood is taken from him for a test and it is a large amount, then it invalidates his fast, just like cupping. But if the test is a small sample, a drop or two or something like that, then it does not harm. Yes.
