The answer

If someone experiences bleeding from their mouth while rinsing it during fasting, they must spit it out and it is not permissible to swallow it. This is because the mouth is considered to be like the external body. This is the view of the Hanbalis, Shafi'is, and Malikis. As for the Hanafis, they differentiated: if blood overwhelms the saliva, it breaks the fast; but if saliva overwhelms the blood, it does not break the fast. The correct view is the first one.
