The trace of blood after washing the garment

Question

Does the color of blood which remains after washing the garment render the prayer invalid?

Answer

All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, is His Slave and Messenger.

The color of blood which remains after washing the garment does not render the prayer invalid. An-Nawawi  may  Allaah  have  mercy  upon  him said: “A color or smell which is difficult to be removed is ineffective.

Al-Mardaawi  may  Allaah  have  mercy  upon  him a Hanbali scholar, said: “A color, smell or both of them which remain after washing are ineffective according to the sound opinion of the Hanbali School of Fiqh.

Allaah Knows best.
