Question

I took part in a research trial where they take my blood and test it for something, they also gave me £10 for taking part, is this allowed or do I have to put the money in Sadaqa?

Answer

If this was given as a token of appreciation then it is alright.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Ask Mufti Online

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
