Question:
The questioner, A. R., from al-Qassim says: What is the criterion for blood leaving the body that invalidates fasting? And how does it invalidate the fast?
Answer:
The blood leaving the body that invalidates fasting is what comes out through menstruation or post-natal bleeding from a woman; this invalidates the fast. Likewise, what comes out by a person’s choice through cupping or by drawing a large amount of blood; this invalidates the fast. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The one who performs cupping and the one who is cupped have broken their fast. Drawing blood for first aid or for donation is like cupping; it breaks the fast of the one who is fasting.
