The Prayer of One with a Continuous State of Impurity

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
This message says its sender: that I am unable to pray because of my stomach illness from gas. I perform wudu' for every prayer, and most of the time I pray and then break my wudu' from the middle of the prayer, so I complete the prayer. Is the prayer valid or not?
Answer: As long as the state of impurity is continuous, you are in the ruling of one with incontinence, and your prayer is valid, even if gas passes, like the one with incontinence who has water passing from him, and the woman with irregular bleeding who has blood passing from her constantly. You perform wudu' at the time, O questioner, then you pray according to your condition as long as the thing is continuous with you.
Allah does not charge a soul except [with that within] its capacityلا يُكَلِّفُ اللَّهُ نَفْسًا إِلَّا وُسْعَهَا
[al-Baqarah:286] Even if it passes during the prayer, or even if it passes during the time, as long as you performed wudu' at the time, then you prayed as Allah commanded, the passing of this gas from you while you are praying, or before the prayer, or after the prayer, does not harm as long as it is continuous in the ruling of the continuous, like the passing of blood from the woman with irregular bleeding whose blood continues with her outside the time of menstruation, like the passing of urine from the one with incontinence whose condition continues with him and he has no way to control it. This one is excused.
So fear Allah as much as you are ableفَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ مَا اسْتَطَعْتُمْ
[al-Taghabun:16].
The presenter: May Allah reward you.
