Question

I led Friday prayers last week. In the evening I found that a small (about pinhead) blood stain was on my shirt.

Q1. Do I and my followers in Friday prayer need to say the prayers again?

Q2. If yes, will it be 2 rakas (like Friday) with Khutba or 4 rakas like ordinary Zuhur?

Answer

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.

The prayer was valid. Hence, there is no need to repeat the Salat.[1]

And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
