Gums bleeding after using miswaak in wudhu
Question
When performing wudu, I use miswaak. Sometimes after miswaak, the gums bleed so when I rinse my mouth, reddish color can be seen. Should I continue with wudu? Or am I supposed to re-start?
Answer
Restart the wudhu.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Where scholars differ, it’s safer to take the more cautious view.
