Q: A
man had to go to the hospital during the month of Ramadan while he was
fasting. When he was there, they took blood from him. Does this invalidate his
Sawn (Fast)?
A: If
the amount of blood taken from the person is customarily considered a small
amount, then it is not obligatory on him to make up for that
day. However, if the amount of blood taken from him is customarily considered a
large amount, then he should make up for that day to avoid an area of scholarly
disagreement and to be on the safe side through discharging one’s
responsibility.
May
Allah grant us success! May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his
family, and Companions!
