The Ruling on Blood: Is It Pure or Impure?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He asks: Is blood pure or impure? With the evidence. What is the ruling on praying in congregation at a time when there is doubt about the obligation of congregational prayer? And what is the ruling on following up on issues of scholarly disagreement and dispensations?
The Shaykh:
Issue by issue.
The questioner:
Yes, he asks: Is blood pure or impure?
The Shaykh:
There is a distinction regarding blood. The blood of an edible animal, such as camels, cattle, sheep, and edible birds. The blood that comes out from the slaughter and spurts from the jugular veins, this is impure.
This is the poured-out blood, and it is impure and forbidden. It is the blood that comes out of the slaughtered animal from its jugular veins at the time of slaughter, and it spurts and flows out with force. This is impure and forbidden. This is the poured-out blood. As for the blood that remains in the meat, it is permitted and excused, and there is no harm in it. It is eaten with the meat. If it touches the garment, it is pure because it is excused. As for the blood of a non-edible animal, it is absolutely impure. The blood of a human, of a non-edible animal, of non-edible birds, all of it is impure, with no distinction.
