The questioner : May Allah reward you. A questioner asks: Does blood invalidate the ablution if it falls on the garment?
The Shaykh : Blood does not invalidate the ablution unless it comes out from the front or the back. As for if it comes out from the nose, from a tooth, from a wound, or otherwise, it does not invalidate the ablution, whether it is a little or a lot. And so is the criterion; listen to it: "Everything that comes out of the body is not an invalidator of the ablution except what comes out from" what? "the two passages, the front or the back". And on this basis, does bleeding from the nose invalidate it or not? It does not invalidate the ablution. A wound, if a person is cut with a knife or something else and a lot of blood comes out of it, it does not invalidate the ablution.
If a man undergoes cupping, his ablution is not invalidated. "So the criterion is that what comes out of the body does not invalidate the ablution except what comes out from the two passages". And what comes out from the two passages is an invalidator of the ablution, even if it is wind that has no substance, due to the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):Sahih Muslim 361 Yes. As for blood falling on the garment, most scholars say that it is impure, if the blood is from a human being. Most scholars say "that it is impure, but a small amount is excused". And some scholars said "that it is not impure because the person is pure", as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Sahih al-Bukhari 283 And if a finger or a limb were cut off from a man, that finger would not be impure, so blood is even more so. But there is no doubt that the precaution is for a person to wash the blood that falls on his garment, if the blood is from other than the two passages. As for if it is from the front or the back, it is impure, whether it is a little or a lot.
