Blood Entering the Throat While Fasting Unintentionally
A person has a wound on his lips and blood continuously comes out of it. Sometimes it enters his throat and he tastes it, and sometimes he does not feel it, and sometimes it enters his throat while he is sleeping. What is the ruling on his fasting?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: The entry of blood into the mouth does not break the fast, and God knows best.
