Ruling on drawing blood from a fasting person for analysis
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the ruling on drawing blood for analysis?
Answer:
Likewise, there is no harm in it. Drawing blood for analysis is correctly considered to have no harm; because it is a small amount that does not resemble cupping.
Q: Even if it is frequent?
The Shaykh: It is usually a small amount. However, if it is for donation to assist patients, then he should make up the fast if the need arises. If it is possible to postpone it to the night, that is better. If the amount is large, making up the fast is safer.
