وَقَوْلِ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى: {أَوْ جَاءَ أَحَدٌ مِنْكُمْ مِنَ الْغَائِطِ} وَقَالَ عَطَاءٌ فِيمَنْ يَخْرُجُ مِنْ دُبُرِهِ الدُّودُ أَوْ مِنْ ذَكَرِهِ نَحْوُ الْقَمْلَةِ يُعِيدُ الْوُضُوءَ. وَقَالَ جَابِرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ إِذَا ضَحِكَ فِي الصَّلاَةِ أَعَادَ الصَّلاَةَ، وَلَمْ يُعِدِ الْوُضُوءَ. وَقَالَ الْحَسَنُ إِنْ أَخَذَ مِنْ شَعَرِهِ وَأَظْفَارِهِ أَوْ خَلَعَ خُفَّيْهِ فَلاَ وُضُوءَ عَلَيْهِ. وَقَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ لاَ وُضُوءَ إِلاَّ مِنْ حَدَثٍ. وَيُذْكَرُ عَنْ جَابِرٍ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ فِي غَزْوَةِ ذَاتِ الرِّقَاعِ فَرُمِيَ رَجُلٌ بِسَهْمٍ، فَنَزَفَهُ الدَّمُ فَرَكَعَ وَسَجَدَ، وَمَضَى فِي صَلاَتِهِ. وَقَالَ الْحَسَنُ مَا زَالَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ يُصَلُّونَ فِي جِرَاحَاتِهِمْ. وَقَالَ طَاوُسٌ وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ وَعَطَاءٌ وَأَهْلُ الْحِجَازِ لَيْسَ فِي الدَّمِ وُضُوءٌ. وَعَصَرَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ بَثْرَةً فَخَرَجَ مِنْهَا الدَّمُ، وَلَمْ يَتَوَضَّأْ. وَبَزَقَ ابْنُ أَبِي أَوْفَى دَمًا فَمَضَى فِي صَلاَتِهِ. وَقَالَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ وَالْحَسَنُ فِيمَنْ يَحْتَجِمُ لَيْسَ عَلَيْهِ إِلاَّ غَسْلُ مَحَاجِمِهِ.As is mentioned in the Statement of Allah تعالى: “… Or any of you comes from answering the call of nature…” (V.5:6). And ‘Ata’ said, “If a worm comes out of one’s anus or if a drop of discharge equal to the size of a louse comes out of one’s penis (then it is essential to repeat the ablution).” Jabir bin ‘Abdullah said, “If one laughs in Salat (prayer), he must repeat his Salat and not the ablution.” Al-Hasan said, “If someone takes out (cuts) some of his hair, cuts his nails, or removes his leather socks, he is not to repeat his ablution.” Abu Hurairah said, “It is not necessary to repeat ablution except on Hadath.” And Jabir stated, “The Prophet ﷺ was in the battle of Dhat-ur-Riqa’ and a person was shot with an arrow and he bled profusely, but he bowed and prostrated and continued his Salat.” Al-Hasan said, “The Muslims used to offer Salat regularly with their wounds.” Tawus, Muhammad bin ‘Ali, ‘Ata, and the people of Hijaz say, “Bleeding does not necessitate the repetition of ablution.” Ibn ‘Umar squeezed one of his pimples and blood came out, but he did not repeat his ablution. Ibn Abi Aufa spat out blood but carried on with his Salat. Ibn ‘Umar and Al-Hasan said, “If anyone lets his blood out, then it is necessary for him to wash the cut area only.”

Sahih Bukhari : 178

حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ مُنْذِرٍ أَبِي يَعْلَى الثَّوْرِيِّ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ ابْنِ الْحَنَفِيَّةِ، قَالَ قَالَ عَلِيٌّ كُنْتُ رَجُلاً مَذَّاءً، فَاسْتَحْيَيْتُ أَنْ أَسْأَلَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَأَمَرْتُ الْمِقْدَادَ بْنَ الأَسْوَدِ فَسَأَلَهُ فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ فِيهِ الْوُضُوءُ ‏"‏‏.‏ وَرَوَاهُ شُعْبَةُ عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ‏.‏

Narrated `Ali: I used to get emotional urethral discharges frequently and felt shy to ask Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) about it. So I requested Al-Miqdad bin Al-Aswad to ask (the Prophet (ﷺ) ) about it. Al-Miqdad asked him and he replied, "One has to perform ablution (after it)."
