Repeating salaah if one found blood on one's clothing

· 26 Jumada II 1447 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

If a person has on black clothing and blood comes onto the cloth through a wound etc. But he can't determine the amount of blood exactly due to the color of the clothing and read Namaz, does he have to repeat it? What should he do?

Answer

If he is certain that blood came onto the cloth after he made wudhu, then through blood coming out, the wudhu will break, and he will have to repeat the wudhu and the salaah. It is better that he washes the entire cloth to clear his mind of the impurity being removed.

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