Does passing wind invalidate the ablution?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
May Allah bless you, Honorable Shaykh. A questioner says: A man was in a state of ablution and did not enter the restroom, but he passed wind. Is it permissible for him to pray a second time with that ablution?
The Shaykh:
A man, what?
The questioner:
A man was in a state of ablution and did not enter the restroom, but he passed wind. Is it permissible for him to pray a second time with that ablution?
The Shaykh:
No, no. If wind comes out of him, his ablution is invalidated, because this is a state of ritual impurity, like urination and defecation, which invalidates the ablution. So he must renew the ablution and the prayer. However, there is no cleaning required for wind; there is no cleaning required for wind. But the ablution is required. As for defecation and urination, cleaning oneself after relieving oneself and wiping are required before the ablution to remove the effect of what came out. This is the difference between them: urination and defecation require cleaning oneself after relieving oneself or wiping before the ablution, whereas wind requires neither cleaning nor anything else. He simply performs the ablution and prays.
