Haemorrhoid bleeding after wudu

A question about haemorrhoid bleeding after finishing wudu, in which Jordan's General Iftaa Department answered that it does not break wudu if it comes from outside the anus, does break it if it comes from inside, and that continuous bleeding takes the ruling of urinary incontinence. ¹

The questioner asked about the ruling when haemorrhoid blood comes out after finishing wudu. ¹

The Department answered that if the blood comes from outside the anus, because the haemorrhoid protrudes, it does not break wudu, since blood leaving the body from anywhere other than the two passages does not break it. ¹ It said that if the blood comes out of the anus, the haemorrhoid being inside, it breaks wudu, so one must cleanse it, wash the place of the impurity and repeat wudu. ¹ It added that if the blood flows continuously, so that there is no interval long enough for purification and prayer without it, it takes the ruling of urinary incontinence: one cleans it after the time of each prayer begins, performs wudu straight after and prays the obligatory prayer at once; nothing more is required if some then comes out, and one may pray as many voluntary prayers as one wishes, but another obligatory prayer requires cleaning and wudu again. ¹

Jordan's General Iftaa Department published this fatwa on aliftaa.jo as no. 4047, dated 15 January 2026. ¹ The museum records this text as a historical document attributed to the body or scholar that issued it; it issues no ruling of its own.
