Does nose bleeding invalidate the fast?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Qibla.com

Answered by Shaykh Abu Usamah

More then often I get nosebleeds due to the weather that tend to go on anywhere from 5 to 15 minutes, with a constant blood flow. One day I was fasting and my nose started bleeding, it went for about 10 minutes or so of constant heavy bleeding, I wanted to know if this makes my fast invalid, makrooh, or what? This was not a fast from Ramadhan but a fast of Thursday such as the Prophet (saw) used to suggest…

Answer:
In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Al-Salam `alaykum

Nose bleeding does not invalidate the fast – nor does it make it makruh. There is no need to make up a fast in which this occurred.

For a detailed explanation on those things that do break the fast and those that do not, refer to the article below.
