The Effect of Swallowing Tooth Blood on the Fasting of Ramadan
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, on the tenth day of Ramadan, I suffered bleeding from a tooth, and I had it extracted at night. However, the extraction was severe, and the bleeding continued in varying amounts, both heavy and light, for more than two weeks. During the daytime, I made every effort not to swallow that blood, but because of its persistence, I ended up swallowing some of it. Does this affect my fast or not?
Answer:
It does not affect the fast, because you did not intentionally swallow the blood, and this blood came out without your doing. So, his fast is valid, if Allah wills. Allah the Exalted says:[At-Taghabun 64:16] Allah does not speak, nor does He will, except what He wills. Yes.

So fear Allah as much as you are able
فَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ مَا اسْتَطَعْتُمْ
