The ruling on drinking blood for the purpose of treatment
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, what is the ruling on drinking the blood of the monitor lizard, or blood in general, for the purpose of treatment?
The Shaykh:
This is not permissible. Allah the Exalted said:[Al-Ma'idah 5:3] It is blood, so it is not permissible to drink blood for the purpose of treatment, because blood is forbidden. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Seek medical treatment, but do not seek treatment with that which is forbidden.” Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Bulugh al-Maram 10:50
The questioner:
That is, half of it does not increase blood pressure or anything else. Is it forbidden by an explicit text?
The Shaykh:
In the Qur'an? Yes.
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh.
The Shaykh:
But administering blood to a patient by injecting it into his vein, there is no harm in that, and this is not like drinking or like eating.
