When he does wudoo’ and rinses his nose, blood comes out of his nose. Should he repeat his wudoo’?

Bleeding
from the nose does not invalidate wudoo’, according to the more correct of
the two scholarly opinions. 

This is the
view of Maalik and al-Shaafa’i (may Allaah have mercy on them) and it was
narrated from a number of the companions of the Prophet (peace and
blessings of Allaah be upon him). 

The Hanafis
and Hanbalis are of the view that it does invalidate wudoo’, and they
discussed that at length. The Hanbalis stipulate that the blood that comes
out should be a large amount, and what is regarded as a lot or a little
depends on each person’s estimation. 

Al-Nawawi
(may Allaah have mercy on him) said: Our view is that wudoo’ is not
invalidated if something comes out of something other than the front and
back passages, such as blood from cupping, vomit and blood from a nosebleed,
whether it is a little or a lot. This was the view of Ibn ‘Umar, Ibn
‘Abbaas, Ibn Abi Awfa, Jaabir, Abu Hurayrah, ‘Aa’ishah, Ibn al-Musayyab,
Saalim ibn ‘Abd-Allaah ibn ‘Umar, al-Qaasim ibn Muhammad, Tawoos, ‘Ata’,
Mak-hool, Rabee’ah, Maalik, Abu Thawr and Dawood. 

Al-Baghawi
said: It is the view of most of the Sahaabah and Taabi’een. 

Some said
that wudoo’ must be done in all these cases. This is the view of Abu
Haneefah, al-Thawri, al-Awzaa’i, Ahmad and Ishaaq. But they differed as to
whether a distinction should be made between a small amount and a large
amount. End quote from al-Majmoo’ (2/62). 

Those who
say that wudoo’ is invalidated in such cases quoted da’eef (weak) ahaadeeth
as evidence, as al-Nawawi and others said. See question no.
45666. 

The evidence
for the correct view, which is that wudoo’ is not invalidated, is as
follows: 

1-   
The basic principle is that it
does not break wudoo’. Those who claim otherwise must produce evidence.

2-   
The fact that the person
remains pure is proven by shar’i evidence, and what is proven by shar’i
evidence cannot be overruled except with further shar’i evidence. See
al-Sharh al-Mumti’ by Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen (1/166).

3-   
Abu Dawood (198) narrated that
Jaabir (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: We went out with the Messenger
of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) on the campaign
of Dhaat al-Riqaa’. The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of
Allaah be upon him) said: “Who will guard us?” A man from among the
Muhaajireen and a man from among the Ansaar volunteered. He said: Stand at
the mouth of the mountain pass. When the two men went out to the mouth of
the mountain pass, the Muhaajir lay down and the Ansaari stood and prayed. A
mushrik man came and shot him with an arrow and struck him, and he pulled it
out, until he had shot him with three arrows. Then he bowed and prostrated,
then his companion woke up. When the Muhaajir saw the blood on him, he said:
Subhaan Allaah, why didn’t you wake me the first time he shot you? He said:
I was in the middle of reciting a soorah and I did not want to interrupt it.
This hadeeth was classed as hasan by al-Albaani in Saheeh Abi Dawood. 

This clearly
indicates that blood does not invalidate wudoo’ even if there is a lot,
because if it invalidated wudoo’ he would have stopped praying. 

Al-Nawawi
(may Allaah have mercy on him) said in al-Majmoo’: The Prophet
(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) knew that and did not rebuke
him. 

Imam
al-Bukhaari (may Allaah have mercy on him) said in his Saheeh: The
Muslims continued to pray despite their wounds. 

Tawoos,
Muhammad ibn ‘Ali, ‘Ata’ and the people of the Hijaaz said: Blood does not
affect wudoo’. 

Ibn ‘Umar
squeezed a pimple and blood came out of it, and he did not do wudoo’. 

Ibn Abi Awfa
spat blood and continued with his prayer. 

Ibn ‘Umar
and al-Hasan said concerning one who is treated with cupping: All he has to
do is wash the site of cupping. End quote. 

Al-Haafiz
said in al-Fath (1/281): It is narrated in a saheeh report that ‘Umar
prayed when his wound was streaming with blood. 

All this
indicates that bleeding from anywhere other than the front and back passage
does not invalidate wudoo’. 

And Allaah
knows best.
