Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : Note the touch of doubt regarding water or the invalidation of wudu': one must revert to the preponderant opinion. Certainty is required, based on the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): Sahih Muslim 361
Answer : It is strange in the first place. Yes. 'Asim. There is no indication here. Because the statement of the Companions, "and he found something in his stomach," is an indication that wind had come out of him, and yet the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) invalidated it. Yes, that is correct.
He should not return (from prayer) unless he hears a sound or perceives a smell (of passing wind).
