Blood from the nose during prayer

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If blood comes out of a person’s nose during prayer, does it break the prayer and invalidate the ablution, or does it not?

Answer:
If it is a small amount, it is excused. If it is a large amount, the safest course for him is to break the prayer, wash what it affected, and then resume the prayer after achieving purity. This is because there is scholarly disagreement regarding whether the ablution is invalidated by these matters, and a small amount that breaks the prayer is excused. However, if it is a large amount, he should be concerned about it, wash what it affected, renew his ablution, and repeat the prayer he broke if it was an obligatory prayer.
