Q:
1. Is it necessary to wash the area from where a blackhead is removed?
2. I often get pimples on my face and other parts of my body I heard that the pus that comes out of the pimple is impure, does it means that I have to wash the area after it came out or just remove it with the help of tissue paper? If it is necessary to wash then if a pimple burst on my right cheek or forehead, how to wash it (just put some water on that area or to wash my whole face).
3. Sometime blood also comes after the pus and after it stops a white water like fluid comes out what is ruling about it? Do I have to wash it or just use tissue paper to remove it?
4. Often pimple burst while taking ritual bath (Ghusal) What to do then? Sometimes blood or pus takes a lot of time to stop i.e. it keeps coming out in small amounts, what to do then?
A:
1. No.
2. If there is nothing flowing out of the pimple then it is not impure and nor will you have to wash it.
3. If it is flowing then it is impure and it will break the wudhu.
4. As above.
And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
