Question:

Assalamu alikum
Mufti Sahab I have a question when you are fasting during the month of Ramadan are you allowed to draw blood for medical reasons? Will this break your fast?
Shukria

Answer:

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.

The drawing of blood does not break the fast. The fast remains valid.[1]

And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best

(Mufti) Abdul Azeem bin Abdur Rahman
