Summary
Blood from internal haemorrhoids that comes out intermittently invalidates ablution. If the bleeding is continuous, the person is treated like one in a constant state of ritual impurity: he performs ablution after the prayer time begins, cleans and bandages the bleeding area, and prays promptly, and the prayer is valid without repetition. Blood from external haemorrhoids does not invalidate ablution and is treated like an ordinary wound, but it must be washed off and the area covered.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Hal tersebut tidak membatalkan wudhuk namun hendaklah dibalut tempat keluar darah supaya tidak merebak ke tempat lain.
