Does Blood Sugar Testing Affect Fasting and Wudu?

Question:If blood is drawn by pricking the finger to check blood sugar levels during fasting, does it break the fast or invalidate Wudu? Please guide us.

**Answer:**
It is permissible to check blood sugar levels by pricking the skin to draw blood during fasting, and this will **not** break the fast. The act of drawing blood for a blood sugar test does not invalidate the fast. However, it **will** break the Wudu (ablution), as drawing blood from the body invalidates Wudu, requiring it to be renewed for prayer.
