The answer

If blood comes out of the gums, it must not be swallowed. In prayer, swallowing it intentionally invalidates the prayer, but swallowing it unintentionally does not. Blood should be spit into a tissue, and it is not permissible to spit it on the floor or walls of the mosque, as it pollutes the mosque. Scholars differed regarding blood invalidating ablution, and the preponderant opinion is that it does not. If one swallows blood intentionally while fasting, their fast is invalidated. Blood coming out of the nose or mouth, if it is a small amount, is excused. If it is a large amount, it is impure, and what it touches of the body and clothing must be washed. If it occurs during prayer, it invalidates it.
