The questioner : His Eminence saysThe Shaykh : What is the ruling if blood from a wound in the hand falls on a garment? Is the blood ritually impure or not? And what is the blood that renders something ritually impure? Please inform me, may Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : If one prays in a garment that has been struck by blood from his hand, his prayer is valid, because the blood that comes out of a human being is not ritually impure except what comes out of the two passages. Therefore, blood from the nose is pure, and what comes out of a wound from a glass or a nail or the like is pure blood. It has not been found in the Qur'an or the Sunnah that human blood is ritually impure except what comes out of the two passages. What comes out of the two passages is ritually impure. For this reason, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered the menstruating woman to wash the blood off herself, but there is no command to wash the remaining blood. The Companions used to pray with their wounds during wars, and the wounds have a lot of blood in war. As for the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) washing his face of the blood when he was wounded at Uhud, this does not indicate ritual impurity, but rather indicates removing the blood because it is disgusting, and a person does not want people to see any blood on him.
The summary is that human blood is pure except for what? Except for what comes out of the two passages, the front or the back, due to the generality of the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):Sahih al-Bukhari 283 And in the hadith: The corpse of a human being is pure and not ritually impure? It is pure, but it is not befitting for a person to leave the trace of blood on himself; rather, he should wash it so that people are not disgusted by seeing it. Yes.
