Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : I extracted a tooth while I was fasting, and blood came out. Is my fast valid or not?
The Shaykh : Yes, if a person extracts his tooth or a tooth and blood comes out, his fast is valid. However, he must not swallow the blood, because blood is not of the same nature as saliva; it is foreign to the mouth. If he swallows it intentionally and deliberately, knowing that it breaks his fast, his fast is invalid. But if he swallows it without intention, or if he does not know that it breaks his fast, his fast is valid. Yes.
The Shaykh : Seven and a half.
