Question:

Just checking, I had my tooth removed, doctor said I can fast, if I swallow blood will my fast be broken, whether I know I swallowed the blood or not.

بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيْم

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

Answer:

If the blood was swallowed when your tooth was removed, then the fast will become invalid and you need to do qaza of it[i] which means you need to fast again.

Hope this answers the question.

Only Allah knows best

فَإِنِ اكْتَسَحَ دَمٌ فِي فَمِهِ فَسَجَّلَ سَائِلٌ أَوْ دَمٌ فِي فَمِهِ فَإِذَا تَجَدَّدَ فِي الْفَمِ فَإِذَا أَفَادَ فَصَارَ فِي قَضَاءٍ

If a person’s mouth fills with blood and they swallow it deliberately, their fast is broken and they must make up for it.
