Fasting for One Who Doubts the Validity of Their Fast in Expiation for an Oath
I fasted as an expiation for an oath, and I felt that I swallowed blood, but I'm not sure. I am on the third day. What should I do now? Should I break my fast or continue? I know that the fasting must be consecutive.
Answer
I say, and with God's guidance: The entry of blood into the throat of a fasting person, if the blood is from his mouth, does not break his fast according to the fatwa given, and God knows best.
