Islam prohibits the consumption of flowing blood due to its severe health hazards. It is a suitable environment for the growth of germs and deadly toxins that are not affected by heat. Furthermore, it is indigestible, contains toxic carbon dioxide gas, and is nutritionally poor, contrary to common perception. The prohibition of blood is a clear divine wisdom aimed at protecting human health.
