Will the wudhu break if blood is seen in one's phlegm?

Question

I wanted to know if wudhu breaks by nose bleeding. The blood comes out with the phlegm and not dripping like usual. Does wudhu break even if a little blood comes out?

Answer

If blood does not flow from your nose, but is seen in your phlegm, then if the blood is equal to the phlegm or more than the phlegm, the wudhu will break. However if the blood is less than the phlegm, the wudhu will not break.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

قال الشامي : قوله ( غلب على بزاق ) بالزاي والسين والصاد كما في شرح المنية وعلامة كون الدم غالبا أو مساويا أن يكون البزاق أحمر وعلامة كونه مغلوبا أن يكون أصفر بحر ط قوله ( احتياطا ) أي لاحتمال السيلان وعدمه فرجح الوجود احتياطا بخلاف ما إذا شك في الحدث لأنه لو يوجد إلا مجرد الشك ولا عبرة له مع اليقين بحر عن المحيط (رد المحتار 1/138)
