Passing Gas During Tawaf

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
There is also a question here; the truth of what is mentioned is not known, but its owner will come forward to read it to you, so let him please proceed.

Answer:
This is a question from a woman who says: When I was pressing [during] my tawaf, gases came out of me without intention, meaning without my will. This happens to me sometimes continuously without intention. These gases come out without human control, and even if one tries to prevent them from coming out, they come out. You know that it is difficult for a woman to go out from among the thousands of pilgrims to perform ghusl and repeat her tawaf. So, I completed my tawaf and sa'y.
If gases come out of a woman or a man, the purity is invalidated and the tawaf and prayer are invalidated. The gases are wind that comes out from the back passage, so this invalidates the wudu. You must repeat the tawaf whenever it becomes easy for you, today, tonight, tomorrow, or the day after. The gases invalidate the tawaf, the prayer, and the purity, unless a person is constantly afflicted with these gases, always, and cannot get rid of them. This is the ruling for the one who has a continuous flow. If he performs wudu and starts the tawaf, he performs the tawaf in that state and prays in that state, and it does not harm him. As for the one who is afflicted with gases sometimes after sometimes, at one time and not another, then whenever the gases afflict him, his purity is invalidated, his wudu is invalidated, and his tawaf is invalidated, and he must repeat it as mentioned above.
And she asks: Do I repeat the tawaf of ifadah? Should I intend it with the farewell tawaf? You must repeat the tawaf. And if it is at the end of the time, when departing, that is sufficient.
