I slaughter sheep, and the time for prayer arrives, and there are spots of blood on my garment. Do I pray in this garment, or is it obligatory to wash it first?

The questioner:
May Allah reward you with good. I am a man who slaughters sheep, and the time for prayer arrives, and there are spots of blood on my garment. Do I pray in this garment, or is it obligatory to wash it first? May Allah reward you with good.

The Shaykh:
If this blood is from the slaughter, meaning the blood that spurts from the throat of the slaughtered animal, then it is ritually impure; because it is flowing blood, and it is ritually impure. It is obligatory to wash it, and you do not pray in the garment that contains this type of blood. As for if this blood is what remains in the meat, then it is pure, and it is permissible. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good.

The Shaykh:
Meaning, it is excused.

The presenter:
Praise be to Allah. Praise be to Allah. So there is a specification for the type of blood that is on the clothes.

The Shaykh:
Yes.
