Explanation of the Book of Ablution, Ghusl, Menstruation, and Tayammum-04b
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The reciter: From Abu Hurayrah, who said: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Sahih al-Bukhari 176. A non-Arab man asked: "What is passing wind, O Abu Hurayrah?" He said: "The sound, meaning the fart."
The Shaykh : Some scholars have cited this hadith as evidence that it is permissible for a person to pass wind in the mosque, whether by a fart or a belch. However, there is a problem with this argument. In fact, it would have been more appropriate to cite it as evidence that it is not permissible. The reason is that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) made the penalty for one who passes wind the deprivation of the reward of prayer. Being deprived of reward is similar to incurring sin. Furthermore, a fart has a foul smell that offends the angels and offends people if there are others present. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said regarding one who eats onions or garlic: In fact, during the time of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), if they found a man who had eaten onions or garlic, they would drive him out of the mosque, expelling him all the way to al-Baqi' so that he would not offend people with his smell. Therefore, it appears that it is not permissible for a person to belch or fart in the mosque.
However, if it overcomes him and comes out, there is no sin on him because he did not intend it. Sometimes a person has strong gases that he is unable to control, preventing him from holding them in.
A person is considered in prayer as long as he is waiting for the prayer in the mosque as long as he does not do Hadath.
