If blood falls on the ihram garments, is it permissible to pray in them?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : May Allah bless you. Honorable Shaykh, if a little or a lot of blood falls on the ihram garment, is it permissible to pray in it?
Answer : Pure blood does not harm, such as the blood that comes from meat after it has been slaughtered. This is because it does not make the garment ritually impure. However, if a person washes it to remove its appearance, that is better, so that people do not think it is ritually impure blood. But if the blood is ritually impure, he must wash it, because one of the conditions for the validity of the prayer is that a person prays in pure clothing. For this reason, when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was praying in a garment, Jibril came to him during the prayer and informed him that there was filth in them. So he (peace and blessings be upon him) removed them during his prayer and said, "Jibril came to me and informed me that there was filth in them." This indicates that the prayer is not valid in clothing that is filthy, meaning ritually impure. It has become well-known among some people that the ihram garments are not changed, meaning that if a person in ihram enters the state of ihram in a garment, he does not change it. But this is not correct. The person in ihram may change whatever he wishes of his garments, on the condition that he does not wear a garment that is forbidden to wear. May Allah bless you.
