Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says that he has been suffering for years from what is called irritable bowel syndrome, which causes him, he says, a lot of gas, especially when performing the Fajr prayer. He is unable to go to the mosque and perform this prayer with the Muslim congregation, so he has been praying it at home for years.
Answer:
He is required to perform wudu' if what he says is true. He is required to perform wudu' when he wants to go to prayer, and he should pray the congregational prayer with the Muslims, then leave, and not pray at home, because he says that he does not find any trace of this discharge, neither sound nor smell. It may be an illusion. In any case, he should pray according to his condition and not abandon the congregation, and he should strive to attend it. Yes.
