Submission To Peace, thanks for researching and finding out. My concern, after going through the entire article, is the following:
"Its virtue is explicitly clarified in the Quranic verse in which Allah says: 'Whosoever killeth a human being for other than manslaughter or corruption in the earth, it shall be as if he had killed all mankind, and who so saveth the life of one, it shall be as if he had saved the life of all mankind' (Al-Ma'idah: 32)."
In the above text, it does not explicitly mention that blood donation is allowed during Ramadan. It does list that it is a noble act to follow...
"Donating blood is a noble deed and one can donate blood while fasting if one is strong. We recommend that Muslims donate after breaking fast in the evening," blood bank director Datuk Dr Yasmin Ayob told the New Straits Times.
I was looking for more, ahadith reference or even a Holy Quran reference rather than a reference from someone (above). It could very well be a noble act, I don't doubt the authencity of the article. But if you donate in the middle of your fast, are you still in fasting mode after you donate or does this act forces you to break your fast?
