Question

I have a blister on my toe due to standing long periods at work with narrow shoes. Is the water in the blister najis? If it is, then what can I do if this blister pops uncontrollably in my sleep on my mattress or in my shoe?

Answer

The pus in the blister is najis. If the pus flows out of the blister, it will cause the wudhu to break and the area it comes on will be napaak. That area will have to be washed.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
