Are the splashes of water over non-flowing blood impure?
Question
If you pour water (flowing water) over a wound that is still bleeding a little when checked with tissue but the water falling off is clear (no detectable traces of blood) even though logically there would technically be blood in it, is that water and its splashes impure? Are the areas on your hand that are now wet around the wound considered impure?
Answer
If the blood was not flowing, then the water that touched the blood will not be impure.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
