I was in prayer when blood came out of my nose; is my prayer invalid?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : I conclude this session with this question. The questioner says, “O Shaykh, may Allah preserve you, I was in prayer when blood came out of my nose; is my prayer invalid?”
The Shaykh : The prayer is not invalid if blood comes out of the nose. However, if it comes out of the back passage or the front passage, the wudu’ is broken and the prayer becomes invalid. As for if it comes out of the nose or from another wound, the prayer is not invalidated by that. But one may be unable to complete it if the bleeding is heavy. In that case, one should leave the prayer until the blood stops, then perform wudu’ and repeat the prayer from the beginning.
The questioner : May Allah reward you.
