	Salam, Peace, bleeding because cut not break your wudhu. Bleeding that break wudhu is menstruation for women. That's all.

	Salam brother, any support to your answer, any Hadith. I always thought, any bleeding counts the same. Jazakallah, Hasan Edited by honeto - 13 May 2012 at 8:58pm

	I think different madhabs (schools of thought) have different rulings about whether or not cuts invalidate one's wudhu. It also depends on how much you bled... Unfortunately I am not aware of the answer. However I was always taught that vomitting a mouthful or bleeding (through cut) invalidates the wudhu....however the blood has to flow out. For e.g. if you scratched a pimple or pricked a finger, it does not invalidate the wudhu. But then again, this is how I was taught (which is most probably the Hanafi school of thought).
