The ruling on blood coming from the nose during prayer

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, I was praying and during the prayer a few drops of blood came from my nose. Do I have to repeat the prayer? I should mention that I wiped this blood with my forehead.

Answer:
A small amount does not harm. A small amount, one or two drops of a nosebleed, does not harm. But if it becomes a flow, a nosebleed, then this invalidates the prayer. You leave, the blood dries, you perform wudu' again, and you start the prayer again. But if it is a small amount and it stops, you continue in your prayer, and praise be to Allah. Yes.
