Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : I had surgery; I have a tumor in my colon.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : This tumor is in the lower part of the rectum, and now, when I mean, when I perform wudu for prayer, I perform wudu for prayer
The Shaykh : All right.
The questioner : and, I mean, during the prayer, I have no control over holding myself back from, may Allah exalt you, releasing gas.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : I mean, against my will, this air comes out of me.
The Shaykh : Yes, and this is always with you, this is always with you.
The questioner : This always happens to me.
The Shaykh : Okay, if that is the case.
The questioner : I mean, during the prayer, this gas comes out of me and I cannot control it; does it invalidate the wudu, or I mean, do I break the prayer and go back to perform wudu and pray again, or not?
The Shaykh : As long as this continues with you and you cannot control it, do not repeat the prayer,
The questioner : Yes, for years, yes.
The Shaykh : But do not delay the prayer except when its time has entered.
The questioner : Yes, yes, and if I am walking from home to the mosque, and it happens to me while walking, I mean, before I enter the mosque, I mean, it happens, gas, air comes out, for example,
The Shaykh : There is no harm, there is no harm, pray and there is nothing on you.
The questioner : Can I pray at home, I mean, if Allah wills, or not?
The Shaykh : Yes.
The presenter : Even he.
The questioner : At home, I mean, it would be better.
The Shaykh : Hmm?
The presenter : Does he have a prayer at home, he says, O Shaykh?
The Shaykh : Yes, you may pray at home if praying with the congregation is difficult for you.
The questioner : Yes, yes. Yes, after the imam prolongs it, and if I stand, I mean, it tires me a bit.
The Shaykh : If you pray in your home, say praise be to Allah, you are excused.
The presenter : May Allah reward you.
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good and make your scale of good deeds heavy, if Allah wills.
The presenter : Perfect.
The Shaykh : May Allah heal you and grant you well-being.
The presenter : Amen, may Allah reward you with good, O Shaykh, may Allah preserve you.
