The ruling on the one who prays when impurity is found in his clothes, and the ruling on blood

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: If I notice impurity in my garment while performing the prayer, should I complete the prayer or break it off? And is human blood and animal blood ritually impure?

Answer:
If you become aware of impurity in your garment while you are in prayer, this requires a detailed explanation: If it is possible to remove the garment containing the impurity, such as a turban, a headscarf, or if you are wearing two garments and the impurity is on the upper one, you remove it, and there is no blame on you, and that is sufficient. Or if it is on a cloak, you remove it.
As for if that is not possible, because the impurity is in the lower garment, or in the trousers, and it is not possible to remove it, then you break off the prayer, wash the impurity, and repeat the prayer, or replace it with a pure garment and pray, repeating the prayer.
As for if it is possible to remove the garment containing the impurity, there is nothing wrong with it, because the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “He was praying one day in his sandals, and Jibril informed him that there was filth in them; so he removed them and continued in his prayer” – (peace and blessings be upon him) – he removed them and continued, and did not repeat the beginning of it.
This indicates that if removal is possible, such as the headscarf, the cloak, or the upper garment of the two, if the garment underneath is covering, then it is sufficient; he removes that and it is sufficient. Otherwise, he must break off the prayer and replace the garment with a pure one, or wash the impurity. Yes.
And all blood is ritually impure, the blood of animals and the blood of the children of Adam, all of it is ritually impure, if it is flowing. But if it is a small amount, a few drops that hit a person from a slaughtered animal, or from a human being, it is excused according to the correct opinion among the scholars. Or if the blood is not flowing, but is of the kind that may be found in the meat, inside the meat, by carrying meat, and something of the trace of blood that is in the meat hits him; this does not harm, this is ruled as pure. The blood that is in the meat is not the blood that flows from the neck at the time of slaughter.
So the point is: The blood that is in the meat is excused, and likewise the small drops, the small amount, is excused from the blood that hits a person from a wound in him, or a wound in an animal. Yes.

The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
