Does one who passes wind have to perform istinja' (cleaning oneself after relieving oneself)?

Question:
If a person passes wind, is it obligatory for him to perform istinja' (cleaning oneself after relieving oneself), or does he perform wudu' (the ablution for prayer) directly?

Answer:
Passing wind does not make istinja' (cleaning oneself after relieving oneself) obligatory. Passing wind requires the wudu' (the ablution for prayer) that they call "tamassuh" (wiping), which is washing the face and hands, wiping the head and ears, and washing the feet. This is tamassuh (wiping), and it is the absolute wudu' (the ablution for prayer). This applies if one passes wind, touches the private parts with the hand, or sleeps without having performed istinja' (cleaning oneself after relieving oneself). Istinja' (cleaning oneself after relieving oneself) is for urine and feces. If urine comes out from the penis, or feces from the anus, that is where istinja' (cleaning oneself after relieving oneself) is required.
As for when one's wudu' (the ablution for prayer) is broken by passing wind or by deep sleep, none of this requires istinja' (cleaning oneself after relieving oneself). One simply performs tamassuh (wiping), meaning one performs the Shari'ah wudu' (the ablution for prayer) with rinsing the mouth and sniffing water into the nose, washing the face, washing the hands including the elbows, wiping the head including the ears, and washing the feet including the ankles. This is the wudu' (the ablution for prayer) when wudu' (the ablution for prayer) is mentioned in general terms. Yes.
