The Ruling on Donating Blood and Selling It
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
And regarding this matter, is it permissible for a person to… like the divination that is practiced, is it permissible for a person to… whom it has been cut off from,
The Shaykh:
out of necessity, blood is donated to the injured person on the basis of necessity. Allah the Exalted said:[Al-Baqarah 2:173] [Al-Baqarah 2:173]. In cases of necessity, it is permissible. It is permissible to transfuse a patient with blood, even if it is ritually impure, but only out of necessity. It is like how it is permissible for a sick person to eat carrion, even though carrion is forbidden, but only out of necessity. However, selling blood is not permissible. As for offering it as a donation, there is no harm in that. As for selling it, it is not permissible because it is ritually impure. And how do we know? The purchase by one in dire necessity, if he cannot find blood and is in dire necessity, he buys it. The sin falls on the seller, and he is the one who is permitted to buy it without knowing the necessity, because he cannot reach this necessity except through the price, so he is considered excused.
And regarding this matter, is it permissible for a person to… like the divination that is practiced, is it permissible for a person to… whom it has been cut off from,
The Shaykh:
out of necessity, blood is donated to the injured person on the basis of necessity. Allah the Exalted said:
has only forbidden to you dead animals, blood, the flesh of swine, and that which has been dedicated to other than Allah. But whoever is forced
حَرَّمَ عَلَيْكُمُ الْمَيْتَةَ وَالدَّمَ وَلَحْمَ الْخِنزِيرِ وَمَا أُهِلَّ بِهِ لِغَيْرِ اللَّهِ فَمَنِ اضْطُرَّneither desiring [it] nor transgressing [its limit], there is no sin upon him
غَيْرَ بَاغٍ وَلَا عَادٍ فَلَا إِثْمَ عَلَيْهِ
