Question:
The presenter, Hana Al-Abd al-Wahid, sent this message saying: Some drops of blood from a camel’s liver fell on my clothes while I was cutting it, and I did not know about it until after I had finished. I prayed the Dhuhr, Asr, and Maghrib prayers in those clothes. Do I have to make them up or not?
May Allah reward you with the best reward.
Answer:
There is no need to make up the prayer. If drops of blood fell on the clothes and you did not know about them until after the prayer, there is no repetition according to the correct opinion. If a person forgets about impurity or is unaware of it in his clothes and does not know until after the prayer, he does not have to make up the prayer according to the correct opinion of the scholars. This is because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was once praying while there was filth in his sandals. Jibril (peace be upon him) informed him that there was filth in them. He took them off but did not repeat the beginning of the prayer (peace and blessings be upon him). This indicates that the prayer is not repeated if there is impurity in a sandal or a garment and one does not know about it until after the prayer. Yes.
However, this does not apply to ritual impurity (hadath). For example, if a person prays thinking he is in a state of purity, but it turns out he was not, he must repeat the prayer in all cases according to all scholars. If a man or a woman prays thinking she is in a state of purity, and then remembers or realizes that she was not in a state of purity when she prayed—perhaps urine or wind had come out of her, or something similar—she must repeat the prayer according to all scholars. It is not like impurity (najasah). Yes.
The presenter: But is the blood that falls from a camel’s liver considered impure?
Answer: The most likely view—and Allah knows best—is that it is not considered impure, as long as it is in the midst of the liver, attached to the meat. It is not considered anything but pure. This is the most likely view. This applies to what is in the midst of the meat, after slaughter, in the meat, in the belly, in the liver, in the intestines, and things like that.
The point is: the blood that remains in the meats and in the veins does not harm. What makes things impure and harmful is the flowing blood at the time of slaughter. But in any case, if we assume that there is impurity from drops of blood that are called impure, or from flowing blood, or from other impurities like urine or others, and you did not know about it until after the prayer, there is no repetition. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you.
