Does blood gathered under the nail after an injury prevent the validity of ablution?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The presence of the mentioned blood does not invalidate ablution, nor is its removal obligatory. It is considered as if it is internal as long as water cannot reach it. Everything that water cannot reach is considered internal, and internal excretions are not deemed impure until they become external. What appears is considered impure, and its appearance is defined by water being able to reach it.
