Is it valid to cite the fact that blood loss does not invalidate wudu' as evidence based on 'Umar's action of praying while bleeding?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, he says: Is it valid to cite what is reported about 'Umar that when he was praying, blood was flowing from him and he did not perform wudu'?

Answer:
Yes, this is evidence for those who said that the flow of blood, even if it is a lot, does not invalidate wudu', based on the fact that 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) completed the prayer. Also, the Companions used to be wounded during prayer; arrows would hit them, they would be wounded, and blood would flow from them, yet they would continue the prayer. This is evidence for the one who holds that blood does not invalidate wudu', even if it is a lot. Yes.
