Unintentionally swallowing blood
Question
If one felt the taste of blood in the mouth and eventually so he went to bathroom and spat out and there was discoloured saliva and didn’t seem to see blood and swallowed intentionally as he didn’t think there was blood but it tasted like blood. So most likely he would have consumed blood but not intentionally. Does this mean his salah may not be accepted for 40 days because of consuming this blood?
Answer
Since this was unintentional, he will not be sinful and his salaah will be accepted.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
