The Ruling on the Flow of a Large Amount of Blood and Its Effect on the Prayer

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The living people, I have asked about this in a large lesson. The basis is your statement of your school of jurisprudence. Allah said, and if they are praying and the sky is upon the night prayer and they have not settled, and between the statement of the author, and it falls regarding the prayer that he says, and he said that you intended for me to be patient in the prayer.

Answer:
The statement of the jurists is that we find that a large amount of blood, the blood that comes out of the body, we find that it is all small and large, but the small amount is excused, whereas the large amount invalidates the prayer, and one must wash the garment. This is the statement of the jurists, and it is what is in the text of al-Dalil and others. However, from the perspective of what has come from the Companions, it is known that they (may Allah be pleased with them) were wounded in battles and blood would flow on their garments, and it is not mentioned that they performed wudu, meaning they did not repeat the wudu, and it is not mentioned that they purified the blood.
Likewise, 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), when he was stabbed during the Fajr prayer, the blood began to flow, but he did not break the prayer; he continued in his prayer and completed the prayer with 'Abd al-Rahman ibn 'Awf, and he (may Allah be pleased with him) became a follower and completed the prayer. This is evidence that the flow of blood from the body does not invalidate the wudu and that it is not impure. This is from the perspective of evidence. As for derivation and jurisprudence, that is another matter. There is no doubt that the statements of jurisprudence are presented to the evidence.
And whoever the evidence supports, we take it, and whoever the evidence does not support, we have mercy on the one who said it, and he has a reward for that, but we do not take the error. Yes.
