What is the ruling if blood comes from my lip while I am fasting? I want to wash it, so I rinsed my mouth several times, more than five times, to ensure no blood enters my mouth and goes down my throat. The blood did not stop while I was rinsing and spitting until my saliva dried up. Without realizing it, I swallowed some water. What is the ruling on my fast?

Peace be upon you and God's mercy and blessings.
According to Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Khamenei and Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Sistani (may God protect them):
Since you mentioned that you spat several times until your saliva dried up, this means there was no water left in your mouth. Therefore, what you swallowed was not water; if anything remained, it was consumed. So, there is nothing upon you. However, the ruling regarding rinsing during Ramadan and unintentionally swallowing some water remains, and you can refer to question 7414. for more details.
May you be successful in all good.
