If a person praying feels something coming out of him, does his prayer become invalid?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q: When I perform wudu' and during the wudu' I feel that something is coming out of my private part, does this mean that I have become ritually impure or not? And if I feel it coming out while I am praying, does my prayer become invalid or not?

A: The feeling of a person praying that something is coming out of his back passage or front passage does not invalidate his wudu', and he should not pay attention to it; because it is from the whispers of Satan. It is authentic from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he was asked about something like this, and he said:
He should not return (from prayer) unless he hears a sound or perceives a smell (of passing wind).لا ينصرف حتى يسمع صوتًا أو يجد ريحًا
Sahih Muslim 361
It is agreed upon that it is authentic.
However, if the person praying is certain that wind or urine or the like has come out, then his prayer becomes invalid; because his ritual purity is defective, and he has to repeat the wudu' and the prayer.
