Fatwa No. ( 20341 )
Q: I am a person who suffers from constant bloating and gas in my stomach, which causes me embarrassment and distress because of the sounds heard when they move, to the extent that the person next to me and everyone near me can hear these sounds. This has caused me a great deal of embarrassment, which affects my humility and concentration in prayer, to the point where I do not know what the imam is saying or how many units of prayer I have performed. This makes me stay away and refrain from going to the mosque out of intense embarrassment. I have gone to many doctors, and they all say that the illness I have is irritable bowel syndrome and it has no cure.is irritable bowel syndrome and it has no cure. Do I commit a sin for not going to the mosque and praying with the congregation? ؟
A: What you mentioned is not an excuse that prevents attending the mosque for the congregational prayer. So seek help from Allah, leave behind the whispers of Satan, and ask Allah for healing. May Allah help you.
And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
