I pray while some livestock blood is on my clothes due to my work conditions; does this invalidate my prayer?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : I pray while some livestock blood is on my clothes, and this is due to work conditions. Does this invalidate the prayer? Please advise us, may Allah reward you.
The Shaykh : If this blood is from livestock after slaughter and the departure of the soul, it is pure, because the blood that remains in the meat and veins after the death of the slaughtered animal is pure and lawful. However, if this blood is from the animal while it is alive, or if it is the flowing blood that comes out at the time of slaughter, it is impure. This is based on the saying of Allah the Exalted:[Al-An'am 6:145] meaning this thing. The apparent pronoun refers to the hidden pronoun in His saying: [Al-An'am 6:145] and does not refer to His saying: [Al-An'am 6:145], but rather it refers to the entire exception. The implied meaning of the verse is: except if the thing that is forbidden for the one who eats it is carrion, or flowing blood, or the flesh of a pig, then that thing is impure. meaning impure. Based on this, we say: The blood that comes out of the animal while it is alive, or the blood that comes out of it at the time of slaughter, is impure, except that the scholars (may Allah have mercy on them) said that a small amount is excused due to the difficulty of guarding against it.
The questioner : May Allah bless you.

Say, "I do not find within that which was revealed to me [anything] forbidden to one who would eat it unless it be a dead animal or blood spilled out or the flesh of swine - for indeed, it is impure
قُلْ لا أَجِدُ فِي مَا أُوحِيَ إِلَيَّ مُحَرَّمًا عَلَى طَاعِمٍ يَطْعَمُهُ إِلَّا أَنْ يَكُونَ مَيْتَةً أَوْ دَمًا مَسْفُوحًا أَوْ لَحْمَ خِنزِيرٍ فَإِنَّهُ رِجْسٌfor it is
فإنهSay, "I do not find within that which was revealed to me [anything] forbidden to one who would eat it unless it be a dead animal or blood spilled out or the flesh of swine - for indeed, it is impure - or it be [that slaughtered in] disobedience, dedicated to other than Allah. But whoever is forced [by necessity], neither desiring [it] nor transgressing [its limit], then indeed, your Lord is Forgiving and Merciful."

أَوْ لَحْمَ خِنزِيرٍfor it is an abomination
