AL-KAFI #772: ADAKAH DARAH YANG SEDIKIT MEMBATALKAN SOLAT
Does a small amount of mosquito blood on clothing or body invalidate the prayer?
Short answer
Blood of living creatures is impure by scholarly consensus. However, a small amount, such as the blood of mosquitoes, flies, lice and leeches, is excused, so the prayer of a person touched by it remains valid.

Summary
Blood of living creatures is impure by scholarly consensus. However, a small amount, such as the blood of mosquitoes, flies, lice and leeches, is excused, so the prayer of a person touched by it remains valid. This is the most correct view in the Shafi'i school and is supported by the Hanafi school, based on the principle of ease in religion. The measure of little or much is not clearly stated in the books and is referred to common custom.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Kesimpulannya, darah yang sedikit samada darah gigitan nyamuk, pacat atau lain-lain jika terkena pada seorang yang sedang solat, solatnya tidak batal kerana najis yang sedikit termasuk dalam perkara yang dimaafkan oleh syara'.
