Does Slightly Bulging Blood from Acne Break Wudu?

Answered by Shaykh Yusuf Weltch

Question

Does Wudu break if blood from popped acne slightly bulges past the exit point but does not flow down like a teardrop?

Answer

In the Name of Allah, the Most Merciful and Compassionate.

No. Your wudu is still intact. Only flowing blood/pus invalidates the wudu. If the blood bulges but does not flow, the wudu is intact, and the blood itself is considered pure. [Tahtawi/Shurunbulali, Hashiyat Maraqi al-Falah]

Hope this helps
Allah knows best
