CategoriesSawm (fast) [327]

Fatwa ID: 08052

 

Answered by Alimah Humairah Badshah

Question:
Assalamoalaykum, if you have urine infection and you are bleeding not a lot can you fast.

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

Answer:
Wa’alaykumussalaam,

Any bleeding from illnesses or wounds do not break the fast. Only the bleeding of haidh or nifaas will break the fast. Therefore, it would be fine to fast if one is bleeding slightly due to a urine infection, as long as that blood is not due to their haidh.

Only Allah (عز و جل) knows best.
