According to Hanafis, wudu is invalidated when a bleeding occurs. However, Hz. Ali starts to perform a prayer when an arrow pierces his foot. Will you explain it?

The Answer

Dear Brother / Sister,

As you know, there are narrations stating that blood does not invalidate wudu. As a matter of fact, according to Shafii madhhab, blood does not invalidate wudu.

On the other hand, ill and wounded people can perform prayers though blood comes out of their wounds because they are regarded as excused.

There is no drawback to a mujahid who has been hit by an arrow to perform prayers while blood comes out of this wound. 

This incident is narrated in Suyuti's Tarikhul-Khulafa.
