The Effect of Nosebleeds and What Enters the Throat Unintentionally, and Blood Tests in Fasting
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He says: Islam removes it for him in 'Imran, unlike his work, and we do not work except after two deaths, two tastes, which is the work.
The Shaykh:
This does not harm the fast, provided he did not intend to swallow it. If it went down his throat without his will and he did not intend it, he owes nothing.
The questioner:
Likewise, four things that may affect the voice.
The Shaykh:
No, a nosebleed does not invalidate the fast. All blood that comes out of a person without his choice does not invalidate the fast, just as if a person is wounded and blood comes out of him, or if he has a tooth pulled and blood comes out of it. The blood that comes out without a person's choice, even if it is a lot, does not invalidate fasting. What invalidates fasting is the exit of a lot of blood by a person's choice, such as cupping or bloodletting. This invalidates the fast because it is by his choice. Yes.
Another questioner:
And Allah knows for certain.
The Shaykh:
A blood test does not harm, because it is a small amount. Taking blood for a test does not invalidate the fast because it is a small amount; it is not comparable to cupping. The default ruling in this matter is cupping, so what is in the meaning of cupping invalidates the fast, and what is less than that does not.
