AskImamDarul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam)
When I am fasting, sometimes my gums bleed. If I swallowed this blood would my fast be broken?
Question
Sometimes I cannot spit the blood out at work as I cannot leave my post to go to the toilet easily?
Answer
The swallowing of the blood invalidates the fast.
And Allah Ta'ala knows best

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
