Bleeding wound

Question

Aslm Ww
If ones wound is bleeding, the blood does not flow nor does it look like it would flow but it goes on one’s clothing is wudu still valid?

Answer

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.

In principle, had the blood/wound been left alone, blood would not exit the wound, then the wudhu is intact. But if the blood/wound if left alone, would still have come out, then the wudhu is no longer intact.[1]

However, it is difficult to accurately apply this, as such, it is best to renew the wudhu.

And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best

 قلت أرأيت رجلا به جرح وكزه فخرج منه دم قليل فمسحه ثم خرج منه أيضا فمسحه وذلك كله قبل أن يسيل قال إن كان الدم لو ترك ما مسح منه سال أعاد الوضوء وإن كان لو ترك لم يسل لم ينقض وضوءه
