A large amount of blood comes from the gums; does this invalidate the wudu? And if I am cut and blood flows from my hand, does this invalidate the wudu?

Question:
May Allah reward you with good. I am in a state of wudu, but often a large amount of blood comes from my gums. Does this invalidate the wudu? And if I am cut and blood flows from my hand, does this invalidate the wudu?

Answer:
If the blood is a small amount, this does not invalidate the wudu, generally speaking, if it is small. However, if it is a large amount, the scholars have differed on this. Some hold that it invalidates the wudu because it is impure and comes out of the body; a large amount of impurity coming out of the body invalidates the wudu. Other scholars hold that it does not invalidate the wudu because the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) were wounded in their military expeditions, and it is not mentioned that they repeated their wudu. 'Umar ibn al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) was stabbed while he was praying, and blood flowed from him (may Allah be pleased with him), yet he did not renew his wudu; rather, he completed his prayer (may Allah be pleased with him). This is the stronger position: the stronger position is that bleeding, even if it is a large amount, does not invalidate the wudu. Yes.
