What is the ruling on prayer if blood comes out of a person during it?

The Shaykh : Who told you? Who told you? Who told you that the prayer is invalidated?

The presenter : I mean, they come to us saying.

The Shaykh : You don’t know anything until I say.

The presenter : Do you have any proof from your side?

The questioner : The questioner says: I was in prayer this night, the 'Isha' prayer, and I coughed, so blood came out of my chest, enough to stain the handkerchief and the pocket. Is my prayer valid?

The Shaykh : The answer is yes, your prayer is valid and you owe nothing, because the apparent view is that if blood comes out from other than the two private parts, it does not invalidate the ablution, even if it is a lot. Accordingly, if a person is frightened and blood comes out of him, even a lot, or if he cuts himself, even if it is a wound, his ablution is not invalidated by that. And if the ablution is not invalidated, the prayer is not invalidated either. And what happened to you because of the Ka'bah was also a small amount of blood, so carrying it in your prayer does not harm you. If you wipe it with the handkerchief and carry it in your prayer, it does not harm you.
