Doubting during salaah whether any impurity had come out
Question
Is it true that if you believe your prayer is broken from ritual impurity escaping, then it is? Such as if something drips down your nose and you think it's blood, then your prayer is broken even if it was just mucus?
Answer
If you are doubting during salaah whether any impurity had come out, then after the salaah, if you find that some impurity had come out, then after cleaning yourself, you should repeat your wudu and repeat your salaah.
If what had come out was not impurity, but was only mucus, then your wudhu has not broken and your salaah is valid even though you thought it was blood before you checked.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
