Does Ibn 'Umar hold that nosebleeds invalidate the ablution, given that it is established in al-Muwatta' that he had a nosebleed during prayer, so he went out, performed ablution, then returned to his prayer and continued from where he had left off?

The questioner : Malik narrated in al-Muwatta' with a sound chain from Ibn 'Umar that he had a nosebleed during prayer, then he went out and performed ablution, and he returned and continued his prayer. Does this mean that Ibn 'Umar holds that the prayer is invalid due to the nosebleed, or can we understand it that way?

The Shaykh : Yes, that is understood, but the argument is not established unless there is evidence that Ibn 'Umar holds that a nosebleed invalidates the ablution. In that case, this would be a text for us on the subject. However, it is possible that this is not a definitive proof if Ibn 'Umar does not hold that a nosebleed invalidates the ablution. Is that clear?

The questioner : Is that clear?

The Shaykh : If there is a text stating that Ibn 'Umar holds that a nosebleed is an invalidator, then it means that this is a corroborating narration for the hadith mentioned earlier.
