He (the Imam) said, ‘Salah (prayer) of a Muslim does not become discontinued by anything; however, protect as much as you can.’ He (the narrator) has said, ‘I then asked him (the Imam) about a man who experiences nose bleeding which does not stop until the time of Salah (prayer).

He (the Imam) said, ‘He fills his nose up with something, then performs Salah (prayer), but does not take a long time if he fears bleeding.’ He (the narrator) has said that he (the Imam) said, ‘If he experiences nose bleeding in obligatory Salah (prayer) without break he performs his Salah (prayer) again if he has turned away from al-Qiblah (al-Ka’bah) before completing.

If he has said Tashahhud (testimonies of belief), then he is not required to perform again.’” حسن - Allamah Baqir al-Majlisi (Mirʾāt al-ʿUqūl fī Sharḥ Akhbār Āl al-Rasūl (5/239))
