Question:
He says: Is it true that Imam Ahmad (may Allah have mercy on him), when he prayed while blood was on him during the days of the fitnah, cited the action of 'Umar as evidence?
Answer:
There is nothing in it to indicate that Ahmad did not perform wudu, but it does state that he prayed while his clothes had blood on them. This is not the same as the invalidation of wudu. It is permissible for a person to pray in a garment that has blood on it if he cannot find another, and there is no obstacle to this.
