Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
What is the ruling if blood comes from a person’s nose while he is in prayer? And does blood coming from a tooth or the skin accidentally, without intention, invalidate the ablution?
The Shaykh:
A small amount of blood does not invalidate the ablution and does not invalidate the prayer.
The questioner:
He says: And if he did it intentionally.
The Shaykh:
As for if it is a lot, if the blood is a lot, this is a point of disagreement among the scholars, and the safest course is that he repeats the ablution, that he exits the prayer and repeats the ablution and restarts the prayer from the beginning; this is the safest course.
The questioner:
He says in his last question: And if he did it intentionally?
The Shaykh:
There is no difference between intentional and accidental; the issue is the blood coming out. If it is in a small amount, it does not harm. If it is in a large amount, this is a point of disagreement among the scholars. Some hold that it invalidates his prayer, so he is required to exit the prayer, repeat the ablution, and restart the prayer from the beginning. Others hold that blood coming out does not invalidate the ablution, and this is a strong opinion in reality. Yes.
The questioner:
So a person may look at the situation, meaning he may sometimes take this opinion and sometimes take that one. If he has ease, he performs the ablution. If he is in a tight situation, such as in the Haram or during Hajj, he takes the second opinion.
The Shaykh:
That he takes the precaution is better, without doubt. If he is able to take the precaution, it is better. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good.
