When blood exits the body, it is impure and unclean, with the primary demand being that its transfer into another body is prohibited. However, in cases of necessity and extreme need, scholars have permitted the use of a woman’s milk by analogy, considering the impurity. Nevertheless, the ruling regarding its usage aligns with that of other impure and prohibited substances, meaning:
(1) When a patient is in a critical condition and there is no alternative to save their life according to a qualified doctor, it is permissible to donate blood.
(2) When there is a need for blood donation according to a qualified doctor, meaning the patient is not at risk of death, but there is a possibility of harm to their health if blood is not donated, then it is also permissible to donate blood.
(3) In situations where there is concern about the duration of the illness according to a qualified doctor, even in cases where blood donation is not necessary, it is permissible, but avoidance is better. In all these scenarios, donating blood is permissible, but receiving compensation for blood is not correct.
(4) When the sole purpose of blood donation is personal gain, adornment, or enhancing strength, in such a case, donating blood is not permissible

How is blood donation? Can a person donate blood or not? There is no Shariah evil in donating blood?
*Answer*
When the blood leaves the body, it is also impure and impure. Its main requirement is that it is forbidden to transfer it to another person’s body. Its use is permitted, however, in view of its impurity, the order for its use is the same as for the use of other forbidden and impure things, namely:
(1)When the patient is in a reflexive state and in the opinion of the expert doctor there is no way to save his life without giving blood, it is permissible to give blood.
(2) When in the opinion of the expert doctor there is a need to donate blood, i.e. there is no risk of death of the patient, but in his opinion there is no possibility of health without donating blood, even then it is permissible to donate blood.
(3)When the expert doctor fears the duration of the disease in the case of not donating blood, there is scope for donating blood, but avoidance is better. In all these cases it is permissible to donate blood, but it is not right to take blood as compensation.
(4)When donating blood is intended only for profit, adornment and increasing strength, in such a case, donating blood is not permissible.
