Religion and Blood Donation: Is it Allowed?

Religion & Donation: A Universal Act of Good

In a diverse country like India, people often ask if their faith permits donation.

The Consensus

  • Hinduism: "Rakt Daan is Maha Daan" (Blood donation is the greatest donation).
  • Islam: The Quran says, "Whoever saves one life, it is as if he has saved all of mankind" (5:32).
  • Christianity/Sikhism/Buddhism: All view it as a selfless act of service (Seva) and love for neighbors.

Based on our experience at **Sarva Jeevanseva Foundation**, we find that spiritual leaders are often our biggest advocates.
