I have a gum disease, and whenever I want to perform wudu after rinsing my mouth, blood comes out of my gums. Do I have to stop the bleeding first?

The questioner : He says: May the Shaykh be respected, I have a gum disease, and whenever I want to perform wudu after rinsing my mouth, blood comes out of my gums. Do I have to stop the bleeding first, or do I continue with the wudu? The same applies to a nosebleed. Please give me a ruling, may Allah reward you with good.

The Shaykh : Yes, we say: complete the wudu. The blood does not harm you, and it does not invalidate your wudu, no matter how much it is. However, I advise the brother who asked, and I ask Allah for his recovery, I advise him to consult doctors, because a person is commanded to seek medical treatment, provided he does not treat himself with what is forbidden. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) informed us of this not just so we would be aware of this statement, but so that we would strive for what brings healing, right? Answer, everyone? The second one, without a doubt. If the Messenger informs us of a report, it is not just for us to know about it, but to act in accordance with it. Similarly, it was reported from him: So we tell the brother: consult doctors, perhaps Allah the Exalted will find for you a cure whose time has not yet come. Often a person undergoes many treatments, but Allah does not decree healing until a specific time that has not yet arrived. Allah Blessed and Exalted is He said: and to a specified term. Do not despair, yes.
