Ruling on the prayer of one who is afflicted with constant passing of wind or the like
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
May Allah reward you, O honorable Shaykh! A man is afflicted with constant passing of wind, even during prayer,So what does he do in prayer: Does his prayer suffice, or must he break it? And what is the ruling if he prays sitting, or in his home? May Allah reward you.
Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds.
If a person is afflicted with a permanent state of ritual impurity from urine, feces, or wind, then Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, has not placed any hardship upon us in the religion.It is said to him: The passing of this permanent state of ritual impurity does not invalidate the ablution, but you must perform the ablution after the time for prayer enters. This is because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered the woman with irregular bleeding to perform the ablution for every prayer. So if a person performs the ablution after the time enters, goes and prays with the congregation, and wind passes from him, there is no blame on him, and his prayer is valid.
But you asked: Does he pray sitting or standing? If he prays sitting, does the wind stop? If that is the case, let him pray sitting. But if it does not stop, there is no benefit in sitting.
But there remains a difficulty in the matter of the wind: And it is that he may annoy the worshippers with his smell.If this is established, we say to him: Pray in your home; because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) forbade one who has eaten garlic or onions from approaching the mosque.And he (peace and blessings be upon him) informed: (That the angels are annoyed by what annoys the human being).
