Can a person fast if they are getting a blood transfusion in hospital?
Jul 14, 2013

Dr. Salim Saab Otolaryngology (ENT)
It's not advised to fast if a person is getting a blood transfusion at a hospital.

of course not ! the underlying disease for which the transfusion is done, is by itself enough for the non fasting. transfusion rupture the fasting anyway. otherwise, people would get an IV drip of liquids instead of getting oral water.
