The Impurity of Blood and Ibn 'Umar's Prayer While His Wound Was Bleeding

Question:
He asks: Is blood ritually impure? And how do we reconcile the fact that Ibn 'Umar prayed while his wound was bleeding?

Answer:
There is a difference of opinion among the scholars. Some hold that blood is ritually impure, so it is obligatory to wash whatever is affected by a wound or otherwise. Others hold that it is not ritually impure. Moreover, those who consider it ritually impure also say that it invalidates the ablution if it is in a large amount; if it is in a large amount, it invalidates the ablution.
As for the second opinion, they do not consider it ritually impure, nor do they consider it to invalidate the ablution. They cite the story of 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) and the story of the Companions during jihad, where they would sustain many wounds and their blood would flow, yet they would pray. There is no mention of them washing that or performing the ablution. Yes.
