What is the ruling on praying in clothes that have blood on them?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: I experience nosebleeds, nosebleeds from the nose, at any time, meaning in a chronic state. What is the Shari'ah's position when there are spots of blood on the clothes? Is it necessary to wash them before prayer and renew the wudu'? And what are the books and references I can consult regarding this matter? May Allah bless you.

Answer:
As for the blood that affects the garment or the body from you, from your body, it is obligatory to wash it because the blood is najasah (ritual impurity), so it must be washed and removed from the garment or the body because it is najasah. And removing the najasah is one of the conditions for the validity of the prayer. As for breaking the wudu' with a nosebleed, if it is heavy, it breaks the wudu'; but if it is light, it does not break the wudu'. If it is light, a drop or two or something like that, this does not affect the wudu'. But if it is a heavy nosebleed, some scholars hold that it breaks the wudu'. Yes.
