Question:
If a person vomits during the prayer, or if blood comes out of him, does his prayer become invalid or not?
Answer:
If a person vomits during the prayer, his ablution is broken and his prayer is invalidated. However, if blood comes out of him, if it is a small amount, it does not affect his prayer. But if it is a large amount of blood, this is a matter of disagreement among the scholars.
Some hold that his prayer is interrupted based on their view that the discharge of a large amount of blood breaks the ablution. Other scholars hold that his ablution is not broken, because when 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) was stabbed while he was praying the Fajr prayer, he completed his prayer, and his garment was stained with blood (may Allah the Exalted have mercy on him); his wound was oozing blood. Likewise, the Companions would sustain injuries in the battles, and blood would come out of them, and it is not mentioned that they would perform ablution because of that or interrupt their prayers. And in the story of the one who was guarding the army with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), who was praying at night, he was hit by arrows, and they struck him, yet he continued in his prayer, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not disapprove of that despite the large amount of blood coming out of him. Yes.
