Does bleeding break wudu?

Answered as per Shafi'i Fiqh by Shafiifiqh.com

Question:

Does bleeding break one’s wudu?

Country: United States

Answer:

Four things invalidate the ablution. They are:

1) Something exiting from the front or rear private parts (except for sexual fluid [mani]).

2) Losing consciousness, except for sleeping firmly seated.

3) Skin to skin contact between a man and a woman, except for an unmarriageable relative or a pre-pubescent child.

4) Touching the privates with the inner part of one’s hand.

(Minhaj al-Talibin v. 1, p. 86-87)

Any of these four invalidates the ablution. Therefore, bleeding does not invalidate it.

And Allah knows best.
