Nasihah (Advice): The Benefit of Making a Proper Wudhu

Rasulullah Sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, “Whosoever makes Wudhu, and makes Wudhu well, his [minor] sins leave his body even coming out from under his nails.” [Sahih Muslim]

Question and Answer:

 

  1. Does taking a blood test break Wudhu and Ghusal?

 

(Question published as received)

 

  1. If the blood test only requires a drop of blood e.g. finger-prick, then this will not break the Wudhu unless the blood flows beyond the point of extraction. If the blood test requires a vial of blood, then the Wudhu will break. However the removal of blood does not affect one’s Ghusl. (Fatawaa Raheemiyyah 4/23)
