Question:
I am getting confused with some answers about wudu breaking with a pimple burst. I understand that the flowing of pus or blood from a pimple burst will invalidate wudu, however, if it doesn’t flow from the site it burst, and it was caused by my hand scraping it purposely, will that invalidate wudu? Additionally, it seems that if the burst happened on its own it does not invalidate wudu, is that even if it was flowing?
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Answer:
If a pimple bursts and the pus or blood flows from its place, then it will break Wudhu. However, if it simply appears and does not flow, it will not break Wudhu (Fatawa Qazi Khan, Vol 1, Pg 39). (1)
Regardless of whether a pimple bursts itself or the burst is caused by something else, it will break Wudhu, as the cause for the breaking of Wudhu is the appearance of Najaasah, which occurs in both situations (Fathul Qadeer, Vol 1, Pg 56). (2)
(1)
و الدم و الصديد إذا سال من الجرح نقض الوضوء ،و إن علا و انتفخ و لم يسل لا ينقض الوضوء
(2)
لا تأثير يظهر للإخراج و عدمه في هذا الحكم ، بل النقض لكونه خارجا نجسا ، و ذلك يتحقق مع الإخراج كما يتحقق مع عدمه فصار كالفصد و قشر النفطة ، فلذا اختار السرخسي في جامعه النقض . و في الكافي : و الأصح أن المخرج ناقض انتهى . و كيف و جميع الأدلة الموردة من السنة و القياس تفيد تعليق النقض بالخارج النجس و هو ثابت في المخرج
Only Allah knows best.
