Is it permissible to pray with small specks of blood on clothes due to back pimples?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Blood is impure (najis). If it is abundant, prayer with it is invalid. If it is little, there is a difference of opinion among scholars regarding its pardonability. Most scholars consider a small amount of blood and pus to be pardonable. Among those from whom this was narrated are Ibn Abbas, Abu Hurairah, and others. The apparent position of the Hanbali school ( Ahmad) is that "little" is what does not become excessive in one's heart, and this is the saying of Ibn Abbas.
