Is it permissible to pray in a garment with a few drops of blood on it, or on something from the underwear?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The basic principle is that the prayer of one who prays with blood on his garment is invalid due to its impurity. However, a small amount of it is pardoned and does not invalidate the prayer according to most scholars. The preponderant opinion is that the reference for determining a small amount is common practice (al-urf). If the blood is considered a small amount by common practice, then prayer with it is permissible; otherwise, it is not. This ruling is general for everything worn on the body.
