The Evidence for Excusing a Small Amount of Blood
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : Now, what is the evidence for the original issue, which is excusing a small amount of blood?
Answer : What is the evidence? The scholars say that the evidence for this is hardship, specifically the hardship of guarding against it. The greater the hardship, the less the burden. For this reason, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) excused the cat, justifying it by the fact that it is pure. Why? Because it is one of the animals that roam about, which one cannot guard against.
