Is it permissible for me to donate blood to a non-Muslim who is in a state of emergency/critical condition, benefit me may Allaah reward you?
I do not see anything wrong with this because Allaah the Exalted says in his glorified Book:
“Allaah does not forbid you to deal justly and kindly with those who fought not against you on account of religion, nor drove you out of your homes. Indeed, Allaah loves those who deal with equity" [Al Mumtahanah: 8]
Allaah informs us that He does not prohibit us from being kind and beneficent to non-Muslims who do not battle us or drive us out of our homes. A person who is in a state of emergency is in great need of help. Um Asmaa bint Abu Bakr as Sideeq traveled to her daughter (رضي الله عنهما) in Madeenah, during the treaty between the Prophet and the people of Makkah, asking her for charity. So Asmaa asked the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) and he told her to be kind to her mother while she was a disbeliever.
So there is no problem in donating blood to a non-Muslim under treaty or a non-Muslim under protection who is not in a state of war with us if he is in need. As is in the case of eating dead meat, you should donate blood to him according to his need, and there is no sin upon you for donating blood to one who is in great need of it.
