Do odorless gases invalidate the ablution?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Do odorless gases invalidate the ablution? I suffer from them a lot, and I may perform the ablution more than ten times in a single obligatory prayer.

Answer:
Whatever comes out from the two passages invalidates the ablution, whether it is wind or something else. Whatever comes out from the front or the back passage invalidates the ablution, whether it is wind or something else. So if you are certain that something has come out, then... but if it is merely a doubt after purification, where you have a doubt or something came out of you or did not come out, the default is that the purity remains. This is based on the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him)
He should not return (from prayer) unless he hears a sound or perceives a smell (of passing wind).لا ينصرف حتى يسمع صوتا أو يجد ريحا
Sahih Muslim 361
So certainty is not removed by doubt. Yes.
