Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The first question of Fatwa No. ( 21672 ) (First paragraph)
Q 1: We seek a ruling on some of the rulings of prayer that we read in a book titled (Kashf al-Ghammah 'an Jami' al-Ummah), Part 1, pp. 107-108, and we want to know whether the rulings are correct or not? They are as follows: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to say: ?
A 1 : Some of the masters of hadith have weakened this hadith; therefore, what it indicates—that the one who becomes ritually impure during his prayer turns away, then performs ablution, and returns to complete the remainder of his prayer—is not correct. Rather, a state of ritual impurity during prayer invalidates it, and the person must, after renewing his ablution, restart the prayer from the beginning; as indicated by the hadith of 'Ali ibn Talq (may Allah be pleased with him), who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Bulugh al-Maram 2:68 It was narrated by Ahmad and Abu Dawud and al-Tirmidhi and al-Nasa'i and Ibn Majah , and it was authenticated by Ibn Hibban . And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.

If one of you becomes ritually impure during prayer, let him turn away; if he is in congregational prayer, let him take hold of his nose and turn away, then let him perform ablution and then build upon what has passed of his prayer, as long as he has not spoken.
من أحدث في صلاة فلينصرف، فإن كان في صلاة جماعة فليأخذ بأنفه ولينصرف فليتوضأ ثم ليبن على ما مضى من صلاته ما لم يتكلمA 1 : Some of the masters of hadith have weakened this hadith; therefore, what it indicates—that the one who becomes ritually impure during his prayer turns away, then performs ablution, and returns to complete the remainder of his prayer—is not correct.

When one of you releases air (through his anus) during Salat (prayer), he should break the Salat (prayer) then perform ablution and repeat the prayer.
إذا فسا أحدكم في الصلاة فلينصرف وليتوضأ، وليعد الصلاة
