The ruling on the blood of an animal if it falls on a garment

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
And if the animal is pure, does the Fajr prayer in which the animal's blood fell on the garment become valid?

Answer:
The blood that comes out from the slaughter, the slaughter of an animal such as sheep, cattle, or camels, this is impure. The blood that is drawn from the jugular veins is impure blood. If it falls on a garment, it must be washed. Likewise, the blood that comes out of the human body, from a wound or otherwise, if it falls on his garment and is a large amount, this is impure and must be washed.
As for the blood that is in the meat of an edible animal, the blood that is in the meat of a camel, or the meat of a sheep, or the meat of a cow, if it is in the meat and it becomes blood that falls on your garment or your body, this is pure and excused. The blood that is in the edible meat is pure and excused if it falls on your garment or your body, so there is no problem. Or if you cut a piece of meat from an edible animal and blood from it falls on you, this is pure and there is no harm. Even if you eat it with the meat, it is excused, because what is prohibited is the poured-out blood, and this is not poured out.
The result is that the blood that comes out of an edible animal from its slaughter is impure. As for the blood that remains in its meat after the slaughter, this is pure and excused, and it is permissible to eat it with the meat. As for the blood that is from a non-edible animal, whether human or non-human, this is impure. The blood that is from a non-edible animal is impure. If it is a large amount and one knows about it and prays with it, his prayer is invalid. But if it is a small amount, or if he did not know about it until after he had prayed, then his prayer is valid.
