I complain of constant passing of wind from me; how do I perform wudu' and pray?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : This questioner says: I constantly complain of passing wind from me, so how do I perform wudu' and pray? Sometimes I perform wudu' twice, and every time I perform wudu', I feel, or rather sense, that air and wind are coming out of me. So, do I repeat the wudu'? Please advise us, may Allah reward you with good.

Answer : I say: If this wind is continuous and he cannot prevent it, and every time he performs wudu' it is invalidated, then it does not invalidate his wudu'. It is like incontinence of urine. He must perform wudu' for the prayer when its time enters, and he prays, and it does not matter if something comes out of him. However, if the doctors say that if he uses a barrier, it will prevent the wind from coming out, then he must use a barrier. And if they say that it has no effect, then there is no need for him to put on a barrier for the wind, because wind is not like urine. A barrier may be useful for urine so that it does not flow to the right and left. As for wind, a barrier is not useful for it unless it is decided that it will be useful; if so, let him use it.
