Does blood coming out of a man break the fast?

The questioner : And blood coming out of a man?

The Shaykh : Blood coming out?

The questioner : Blood coming out of a man, not a woman. If a woman has menstruation or blood coming out of her, and a man is in the same situation, meaning due to bleeding in the bladder, may Allah protect us and you, or in the stomach, or hemorrhoids, or something like that.

Its opposite is the Hanafi school, which states that it nullifies the wudu' no matter how little it is. The middle position is the school of Imam Ahmad and also Malik: if it is a lot, it nullifies, otherwise it does not. And I do not imagine, in the usual case, that a man would have a lot of blood, more than the story of that guard who stood guarding the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and the group while they were sleeping during a journey ... .
