Wudhu of one that experiences a bleeding nose
Question
When blowing the nose, blood clots are seen, sometimes dry and sometimes wet. It is mixed with nasal fluids. There is no apparent flowing of blood from the nasal passages, besides this clot. What is the ruling regarding the validity of Wudhu?
Answer
If a clot or clots of blood emit from the nose, then Wudhu will not be invalidated and will remain intact. On the other hand, if thin blood emerges and flows, then Wudhu will be invalidated. Hence, in your particular instance, your Wudhu will remain intact.
