Is the area under my nails where there is dried blood, called sprinter hemorrhage in medical terms, considered impure especially when it comes into contact with water for Wudhu?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

The dried blood under the nail is either not Najis or does not spread Najasah, because it is not on outer part if the body but covered by the nail.

'Wassalam.
I had a cut on my finger which, before Wudhu, I washed twice. Blood remained on the actual slit of the cut, less than a Dirham, and while performing Wudhu the blood was diluting with the water. Is my Wudhu and Salat valid?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

Parts of Wudhu must be Taahir during performing Wudhu. If blood was flowing during performing Wudhu from a place of Wudhu, Wudhu will be then invalid, then Salah will be invalid.

Are there varying degrees of Najasah? Is semen considered more impure than pork or blood?
Zaid Alsalami

Bismihi ta'ala

If something is najis al-'ayn, it would not be different in its level of najasah with something else najis al-'ayn, but the difference between najasaat is the method of purifying. 

And Allah knows best.
