The answer

Shed blood is impure (najis) and it is forbidden to benefit from it, by consensus, except in cases of extreme necessity to save a patient's life, in which case it is permissible to benefit from it. Donating blood is permissible provided it does not harm the donor, and this is considered a great charity, especially if it saves a human life, in accordance with the Almighty's saying: "And whoever saves a life - it is as though he had saved all mankind."
