Summary
Human blood is in principle impure based on the Quran and scholarly consensus, but scholars differ on the blood of the Prophet SAW. The first view holds that his blood is pure as a special feature of the Prophet SAW, while the second holds that it is impure like other human blood. This ruling leans towards the first view that the Prophet's blood is pure. Most reports of companions drinking his blood are weak, and the account of Abdullah bin Zubair is said to be the strongest.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Melihat kepada dua pendapat di atas, kami lebih cenderung kepada pendapat yang pertama iaitu darah Nabi SAW adalah suci dan tidak najis kerana ia termasuk di dalam bab Pengkhususan Nabi SAW.
