Summary
The 4th Muzakarah of the National Fatwa Committee (13-14 April 1982) ruled that donating blood is permissible. Blood from Muslims does not need to be separated from blood from non-Muslims, so blood may be used across religious lines. Offering payment to blood donors as a token of appreciation is discouraged.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
