Re: Will bleeding break my fast

Jazak Allah for u dua and info

Praise be to Allah (SWT)

I ask Allah (SWT) to bless you with a speedy recovery …

If the blood comes out through no deliberate action, such as an accident or nosebleed or an injury to any part of the body, his fast is still valid even if the amount of blood is large.

This is the summary of a fatwa issued by Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen. See Fataawa Islamiyyah, 2/132

But if the blood that comes out through no deliberate action is of such a large amount that he becomes weak and unable to fast, then it is permissible for him to break his fast and he should fast another day to make up for it.

Having a blood sample taken does not break the fast and is permissible because it is something that is needed. (Fataawa al-Da?wah: Ibn Baaz, no. 979).

If a person suffers from a nosebleed, his fast is still valid, because this is something that is beyond his control. (Fataawa al-Lajnah al-Daa?imah, 10/264).
