Donating Blood and Buying It for One in Dire Necessity

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
And it is not the case, is it permissible for a person to give to people, like the blood that is needed, is it permissible to give to another person,

The Shaykh:
for dire necessity, blood is donated to the injured from the perspective of dire necessity, Allah the Exalted said: “Forbidden to you are dead animals, blood, and the flesh of pigs”
He 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 [by necessity], neither desiring [it] nor transgressing [its limit], there is no sin upon himإِنَّمَا حَرَّمَ عَلَيْكُمُ الْمَيْتَةَ وَالدَّمَ وَلَحْمَ الْخِنزِيرِ وَمَا أُهِلَّ بِهِ لِغَيْرِ اللَّهِ فَمَنِ اضْطُرَّ غَيْرَ بَاغٍ وَلَا عَادٍ فَلَا إِثْمَ عَلَيْهِ
[Al-Baqarah 2:173]
, for dire necessity it is permissible, it is permissible to transfuse the sick person with blood, and even though it is ritually impure, it is permissible due to dire necessity, just as it is permissible to use the fat of a dead animal, even though the dead animal is forbidden, but due to dire necessity, but selling blood is not permissible, as for giving it as a donation, there is no harm in it, as for selling it, it is not permissible, because it is ritually impure,

Another questioner:
What shall we start with?

The Shaykh:
Buying for one in dire necessity, if he does not find blood and he is in dire necessity, he buys it, and the sin falls on the seller, and he is permitted to buy it for the sake of dire necessity, because he cannot reach this necessity except by the price, so he is considered excused.
