The Details of the Rulings on Impure and Pure Blood

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you with good. Is blood ritually impure? And is it obligatory for a person to wash his garment if a small amount of blood falls on it? Or is the prayer permissible?

Answer:
The blood that comes out of a human being or from an animal that is not eaten is considered ritually impure. Likewise, the blood that comes out of an edible animal at the time of its slaughter, when it flows from the jugular veins at the time of slaughter, is also ritually impure because it is the poured-out blood. As for the blood that remains in the meat of the slaughtered animal after it has been slaughtered, this is pure and permissible because it is mixed with the meat. So if a small amount of it gets on his garment, it is pure. The ritually impure blood mentioned earlier, if it is a small amount on the garment, does not invalidate the prayer. But if it is a large amount, it invalidates the prayer because it is impure, because he prayed in a garment that is impure if he left it intentionally. But if he forgot it and prayed, or did not see it until after he had prayed, his prayer is valid, but he has to wash it and hasten to wash it for the future. Yes.
