Does bleeding invalidate the ablution and nullify the prayer?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Shaykh. The questioner from Abha says: I have severe bleeding from my teeth. Sometimes the bleeding occurs while I am in prayer, so I am forced to break my prayer until the bleeding subsides. What is the ruling on this action? May you be rewarded.

Answer:
Yes, bleeding also breaks the wudu' (ablution for prayer). The prayer is not valid while bleeding is present, unless this bleeding is constant and never stops. In that case, it is like a permanent state of ritual impurity, such as incontinence. He performs wudu' when he wants to pray, and he prays even if something comes out of him during the time of prayer. Allah the Exalted said:
So fear Allah as much as you are ableفَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ مَا اسْتَطَعْتُمْ
[At-Taghabun 64:16]
However, if this bleeding only occurs at intermittent intervals, it invalidates the wudu' and invalidates the prayer. Therefore, he must perform wudu' and repeat the prayer from the beginning.
