Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
The questioner says: Shaykh, what is the ruling on blood sugar testing during the day in Ramadan while fasting? Is there another question? No, thank you. May Allah bless you. Please, Shaykh.
The Shaykh:
Yes, regarding blood tests. If it is a small amount, there is no harm in doing it during Ramadan. However, if it is a large amount and a significant quantity is drawn from the patient for analysis, such as blood or the like, then this breaks the fast of the one who is fasting. As for a small amount, it does not affect the fast. Yes.
The presenter:
We ask Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He).
The Shaykh:
A small amount for analysis is fine, and it does not affect the fast. Yes.
The presenter:
We ask Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) to let us all reach the blessed month of Ramadan. May Allah bless you.
