Is it permissible to donate blood to non-Muslims, specifically to the Red Cross?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Donating blood to those in need is permissible, and it is more befitting that it be for Muslims. It is also permissible for non-belligerent disbelievers. Regular blood donation is recommended as long as it does not harm one's health, while ensuring that the blood reaches needy Muslims.
