The Ruling on Pricking the Finger to Measure Blood Sugar for a Person in Ihram

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. This questioner says: What is the ruling on a person who pricks his finger with a needle to draw blood in order to measure his blood sugar level, while he is in ihram, just to check, knowing that he is in good health?

Answer:
This does not harm his ihram. It is permissible for him to seek treatment while in ihram. It is permissible for him to take medication while in ihram. There is no harm in that. Yes.
