My father has a nosebleed and a handkerchief in his hand, and the nosebleed continues with him. What should he do during the prayer? Does he owe anything if he prays while having a nosebleed?

The questioner : He says: My father has a nosebleed and a handkerchief in his hand, and the nosebleed continues with him. What should he do during the prayer? Does he owe anything if he prays while having a nosebleed?

The Shaykh : What I understood from the question is that it is constant?

The questioner : Yes.

The Shaykh : He owes nothing. He owes nothing regarding this nosebleed. And as he said: he takes a handkerchief to clean his nose with it. But if it happens to him during the prayer, does he break off from his prayer or does he continue? We say: if it distracts him, let him break off. And if he is in congregation, meaning in the mosque, let him put his hand on his nose like this, meaning as if he is what?

The questioner : Having a nosebleed.

The Shaykh : No, I mean, as if he is having a nosebleed, this is in the case where he breaks his wudu. Yes, this is in the case where he breaks his wudu, meaning my mind went to something else. If it does not distract him in his prayer, let him continue. If it distracts him, let him break off, because he is excused.
Yes, this is the last question.
