Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The first message in this episode is from Al-Hudaydah, Yemen. The sender is one of the sisters, Umm Abdullah. Umm Abdullah began her message with the following words: “It is a pleasure for me to inform you that I did not know the path of adhering to the commands of Allah and His Messenger until I heard your program, which is called *Nur 'ala al-Darb* (Light on the Path). It is truly a name that fits its description. May Allah reward everyone who participated in this program with good in this world and the Hereafter. I have some questions, and I hope you will be generous in answering them. May Allah reward you with good. Her first question is: O Shaykh, is it permissible for a man to donate his blood to his wife if she needs it? May Allah reward you with good?”
Answer: In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Praise be to Allah, and may Allah send blessings and peace upon the Messenger of Allah, upon his family and his Companions, and upon those who follow his guidance.
As for what follows: I was greatly pleased by your benefit, O questioner, from this program and your adherence to the commands of the Shari'ah through its means. So praise be to Allah. We ask Allah to increase you in good, to grant you understanding of the religion and steadfastness upon it, and to guide you and all Muslim men and women to everything that brings His pleasure and the well-being of His servants. There is no doubt that, by the praise of Allah, this program is beneficial and useful. So we ask Allah to guide those in charge of it to all good, and to grant them success in hitting the truth. Indeed, He is All-Hearing, Near.
As for your question, there is nothing wrong with helping her with some of his blood. If the wife needs some of his blood, there is nothing wrong with it; because these matters have no connection to prohibition. This is specific to breastfeeding. As for the matter of helping with some blood, there is no blame on him in case of dire necessity.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good and do you good.
