Donating blood whilst fasting
*Please appropriately reference this fatwa to: www.fatwa-online.com, thankyou!*
 Question: Does donating blood during the day in Ramadhaan break the fast?

Response: Yes! If he donates and a lot of blood is drawn out, then he breaks his fast as it is regarded as similar to cupping (hijaamah).
