How does one pray if he finds blood stains on his clothing?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q: If there are blood stains on one's clothing, does he pray in them, or does he wait until clean clothing is brought to him?
A: He prays according to his circumstances, so he does not leave the prayer until the time has passed. Rather, he prays according to his circumstances if he is unable to wash the stains or replace them with pure clothing before the time expires; based on the saying of Allah the Exalted: [Surat al-Taghabun: 16].
It is obligatory for the Muslim to wash the blood on him, or to replace his impure garment with another pure one if he is able to do so. If he is unable to do so, he prays according to his circumstances and there is no obligation upon him to repeat the prayer; based on the noble verse, and based on his saying (peace and blessings be upon him):Sahih Muslim 1337b agreed upon as authentic.
