Does sweat blood invalidate the ablution?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : He says: I read to your eminence that blood, whether little or much, does not invalidate the ablution, and you mentioned the rule in that, and the absence of evidence for invalidation. But a sound hadith has confused me, which is that it is sweat blood, so I perform the ablution for every prayer. The blood of sweat is something the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered the ablution from, and it comes out from any place of sweat in the body. So why is it not used as evidence for invalidation, just as we say regarding urine, we say regarding blood?
The Shaykh : Yes, there is a difference between what comes out from the two passages, the front and the back, and what comes out from other places. What comes out from the two passages, from the bloods, invalidates the ablution, and some of it necessitates the full ritual bath, such as menstruation. And the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that it is sweat blood means that it is not the blood of nature and constitution, which is the blood of menstruation. And we say, in accordance with this hadith, that what comes out from the front or the back invalidates the ablution, whether little or much.
