AL-KAFI #1935: HUKUM NANAH JERAWAT KELUAR KETIKA SOLAT
Is pus from a pimple or boil that bursts and flows out during prayer considered impure, and does it invalidate the prayer?
Short answer
Pus is ruled like blood and is therefore impure. If a pimple bursts during prayer and only a small amount of pus comes out, it is excused and the prayer remains valid.

Summary
Pus is ruled like blood and is therefore impure. If a pimple bursts during prayer and only a small amount of pus comes out, it is excused and the prayer remains valid. If a large amount flows out, the prayer is invalidated. What counts as a large amount is determined by the customary view of society.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Nanah jerawat yang kebiasaannya sedikit sekiranya pecah semasa menunaikan solat adalah tidak membatalkan solat kerana sedikitnya termasuk dalam perkara yang dimaafkan.
