Explaining the wisdom behind the impurity of shed blood
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q102: The questioner asks: What is the wisdom behind the impurity of shed blood?
A102: Because, and Allah knows best, it contains bad things, so eating it is forbidden:[Al-Ma'idah 5:3] , so the blood is forbidden to eat, because of what it contains
of microbes that doctors have identified, that it contains diseases, so Allah the Exalted forbade it. And also because it is impure, this is based on the premise that everything forbidden is impure, and this is a matter of consideration, but people avoid blood; because the command to wash blood came in the hadith of the menstruating woman, when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was asked about menstrual blood that falls on a garment, he (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sahih Muslim 291a He commanded the garment to be washed from menstrual blood.
A102: Because, and Allah knows best, it contains bad things, so eating it is forbidden:
Prohibited to you are dead animals, blood
حُرِّمَتْ عَلَيْكُمُ الْمَيْتَةُ وَالدَّمُof microbes that doctors have identified, that it contains diseases, so Allah the Exalted forbade it. And also because it is impure, this is based on the premise that everything forbidden is impure, and this is a matter of consideration, but people avoid blood; because the command to wash blood came in the hadith of the menstruating woman, when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was asked about menstrual blood that falls on a garment, he (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
She should scrape it, then rub it with water, then pour water over it and then offer prayer in it.
