Dr. Shawky Allam, the Grand Mufti of Egypt, confirmed that donating blood during the month of Ramadan does not break the fast, explaining that what comes out of the body does not break the fast, and therefore blood donation does not break the fast.
He added, during his meeting with the journalist Hamdi Rizk, on the program “Every Day a Fatwa”, broadcast on Sada Al-Balad channel, that the divine mandate derived from the Holy Qur’an confirms the necessity of striving for the land and halal earning, pointing to the importance of the balance between work and worship.
