Does a person suffering from a wind condition take the ruling of one who has urinary incontinence?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A person who has a wind condition, and he resists it during the prayer, and sometimes this wind comes out of him while he is praying, does he fall under the ruling of one who has urinary incontinence, and is his prayer valid, or must he repeat the prayer?

Answer:
If this is always with him, coming out without his control, then he is like one with incontinence. He performs wudu' for the prayer and prays immediately. Even if something comes out of him, his prayer is valid, because he is unable to do more than that. Allah the Exalted said:
So fear Allah as much as you are ableفَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ مَا اسْتَطَعْتُمْ
[At-Taghabun 64:16]
Allah does not charge a soul except [with that within] its capacityلَا يُكَلِّفُ اللَّهُ نَفْسًا إِلَّا وُسْعَهَا
[Al-Baqarah 2:286]
Yes.
