The ruling on performing wudu for one who frequently passes gas due to colitis
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This man says he suffers from irritable bowel syndrome, accompanied by frequent, involuntary passing of gas. He says this forces him to perform wudu many times, one after another, which causes him hardship and difficulty, especially during the Friday prayer, while performing tawaf, and while reading from the mushaf. So what do you advise him to do, may Allah preserve you?
Answer:
This is if it is always with him and does not stop; then he is like one who has incontinence. He performs wudu' when he wants to pray or wants to perform tawaf. He performs wudu' at the time of prayer or at the time of tawaf, and then he performs the act of worship. Even if something comes out of him during the act of worship, it does not invalidate it. Allah the Exalted said:[At-Taghabun 64:16] Allah the Exalted said: [Al-Baqarah 2:286] The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Sahih al-Bukhari 7288 As for if this condition comes at one time and then goes away, then it is obligatory to perform wudu' if something comes out of him. It is obligatory to perform wudu' even if he is in prayer; it breaks the prayer, and he must leave and perform wudu', because this is not a permanent state of impurity, but rather it comes only at times. Yes.
