Sucking blood

Question

I wanted to inquire about the drinking of flowing blood being haraam! If a person checks his sugar, pokes bimself for the blood to be released and
thereafter sucks the remaining blood from his finger, is this constituted as haraam?

Answer

Yes. Blood is napaak.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
