The answer

It is permissible to benefit from the leave granted by the employer as an incentive for employees to donate blood. It is also permissible to receive monetary compensation for this leave if the work system allows it. This is not considered selling blood, which is prohibited; rather, it is a permissible incentive reward, as stated in the resolution of the Islamic Fiqh Academy that "giving money as a gift or reward to encourage blood donation is permissible because it falls under the category of donations, not exchanges."
