Doubt regarding the invalidation of wudu' during prayer

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Therefore, if women are well-behaved, they acknowledge the Prophet. In prayer, I do not analogize, nor do I treat lightly what does not occur.

The Shaykh:
What is it?

The questioner:
A person feels what is in his prayer, and what we delayed, and what he does not do.

The Shaykh:
It becomes confirmed. If a person becomes certain while praying that his wudu' has been invalidated, he must leave the prayer, whether due to pre-seminal fluid, passing wind, or any other of the things that break wudu'. He must leave. However, if it is merely a possibility, he does not leave, because the default is purity. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was asked about a man who feels something in his belly and doubts whether something has come out of him or not. He said:
He should not return (from prayer) unless he hears a sound or perceives a smell (of passing wind).لا ينصرف حتى يسمع صوتا او يجد ريحا
Sahih Muslim 361
Certainty of purity is not removed by doubt, and praise be to Allah. But if he is certain that his wudu' has been invalidated, he must leave; it is not permissible for him to continue, as he is in a state of impurity. Yes. Okay.
