Whether it is haram (forbidden) to pray with blood on clothes depends on the amount and origin of the blood.
Detailed Explanation:
Islamic jurisprudence provides specific guidelines regarding praying with blood on one's clothes. These guidelines typically consider the quantity of blood and its source.
-
Small Amount of Blood: According to many scholars, a small, negligible amount of blood does not invalidate the prayer. The exact definition of "small" can vary, but it generally refers to an amount that is considered insignificant and does not noticeably contaminate the garment.
-
Large Amount of Blood: A significant amount of blood generally invalidates the prayer. The definition of "large" is subjective and relies on established precedent and interpretations within different schools of Islamic thought.
-
Source of Blood: There is more leniency towards one's own blood, especially if it's from a wound or unintentional bleeding. Some scholars differentiate between one's own blood and the blood of another person or animal. If the blood is one's own, then there is a level of acceptance with exception to intentionally wearing clothes soiled with one's own blood mixed with others'.
Summary:
In general, praying with a small, insignificant amount of blood is permissible, while praying with a significant amount is not. The source of the blood can also influence the ruling.
