Summary
Purity from najis on the body, clothing and place of prayer is a condition for a valid prayer. A person carrying a blood-stained tissue in a pocket is considered to be carrying najis, so the prayer is invalid and must be repeated. However, if the blood is not of the heavy najis category such as that of pigs and dogs, and the amount is small by custom, such as a small spot or a drop or two, it is pardoned and the prayer remains valid without needing repetition.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Antara syarat sah solat ialah mestilah suci daripada najis pada badan, pakaian dan tempat solatnya.
