Waking up with some blood in one's mouth while fasting
Question
In Ramadhaan, when I wake up in the morning after sehri and performing fajar (for example 10 am). I always have a blood and it's taste in my mouth and I'm sure that it must have entered in my throat. What should I do for this because this is something impossible for me to control. And if this breaks fast then it means I have to repeat all my fasts. This problem is continuous with me. I cannot even make up previous fasts.
Answer
Upon awakening when you realized that there was blood in your mouth, if you did not swallow the blood but spat it out, then your fast did not break. Since you are not sure whether the blood entered your throat while you were sleeping, this will not affect your fast. There is no need for you to pay attention to this doubt.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
