The ruling on extracting a tooth of a fasting person and swallowing some of the blood

Question:
A letter reached the program from the Arab Republic of Egypt, sent by a listener from there who indicated his name with the letters (A. S. A). He says in one of his questions: I had extracted a tooth in the first month of Ramadan, and after I extracted it, blood would come out, and I was fasting. There is no doubt that a small amount of blood was entering my stomach, and I did not break my fast at that time. What is the ruling?

Answer:
Extracting a tooth does not invalidate the fast. If one needs to have it extracted, it does not invalidate the fast. If one extracts his tooth while fasting, it does not harm him. However, he should guard against blood entering his stomach; he should spit it out and rinse his mouth so that nothing goes into his stomach. If something goes in without intention or purpose, it does not harm the fast. As for intentionally swallowing the blood, it invalidates his fast, and he must make up the fast. But he is not allowed to intend to do that; rather, he should guard against it and strive, just as he rinses his mouth, to ensure that nothing goes into his stomach. If something overcomes him without intention, it does not harm his fast. Yes.
