What does the one praying do if he breaks his ritual purity during the prayer?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : This questioner says: My brother, Honorable Shaykh, may Allah keep you safe, what does the one praying do if wind comes to him during the prayer, or one of the things that break the ablution? And what is the ruling if he has gas in his stomach? Is his ruling like that of the one who has urinary incontinence?
The Shaykh : If a person breaks his ritual purity during his prayer, whether by passing wind, urinating, or any other cause of impurity, he must exit the prayer, and it is not permissible for him to remain in it, even if he is the imam or a follower. If he is a follower, he should step out, perform the ablution, and return. If he is the imam, he should also step out and say to those behind him, "Step forward, so-and-so, and complete the prayer for the people." The prayer of the followers is not invalidated. Likewise, if the imam enters the prayer and during the prayer he realizes that he is not in a state of ablution, he must step out and say to one of the worshippers, "Step forward, so-and-so, and complete the prayer for them." And if a person has gas in his body
and is unable to hold it in, meaning it is released and he cannot prevent it from coming out without his choice, then if it continues to be released from him, his ruling is the ruling of one who has incontinence of urine. He performs the ablution for the prayer when its time enters, takes precautions, and prays. If something comes out of him during the prayer, his prayer is not invalidated by that.
