regarding the ruling on donating blood in exchange for a reward?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : This depends on his intention. First, this is certainly not like a sale, because the reward may or may not be obtained.
The questioner : The reward was obtained.
The Shaykh : It was obtained, yes, but perhaps it may not be obtained. If you donate three or five times, is the organization obligated to give it to you? They are not obligated, but in a sale, they are obligated. So this is not like a sale. However, a person should not focus on these things; he should focus on doing good. Also, I think that one should not donate blood except in a specific case, such as a person who is currently found to need a donation. As for it being stored, I have some reservations about that in my mind, but in any case, we do not say it is forbidden. Yes.
