Question:
May Allah reward you. This questioner says: If a patient needs a blood donation, is it permissible for someone else to donate to him during the day in Ramadan?
Answer:
If the situation reaches the level of dire necessity and there is a fear of his death, then he should donate to him, because this is saving a person from danger and death. As for if his condition is stable and the blood is only wanted to strengthen him, or [if it is for that purpose], this does not invalidate his fast, because there is no dire necessity in it. Drawing blood invalidates the fast, so it is not permissible except in cases of dire necessity. Yes.
