Question : #462

Subject:	enquiry about Mujtahids
Question:	My question is what are the ruling of the Mujtahids on: Donating blood to non Muslims, on the day of Arbaeen (40th of Ashura)? In a non Muslim country? (Noting that the country in general is facing insufficiency of blood, and that such act would also spread good idea about Shia Muslims, and making the people here aware -somehow- about Imam Hussain (alaihi afdhalu assalat wa assalam). Please give the fatwas of as many marjas as possible, we MAY organise such donation if it is permissible in Islam. please let us know as soon as possible. PS. please try to answer this urgently so we can have time to spread the idea and get as much people as possible.
Answer:	Bismihi Ta'ala There is no harm in donating blood especially in the name of Imam Husayn to non-Muslims. Since the question is posed in a hurry, I am not able to have access to the fatawa of the maraji especially as the issue is not covered in the normal risala works. However, since the donation of blood can help save lives, the act is covered under the Qur'anic verse: One who saves a soul (Muslim or non-Muslim) it is as if he has saved whole humamity (5:32) Let us remember that Islam is a humane religion, any act which helps other human beings and gives a positive image of Islam is to be encouraged.
