What should one do if afflicted with continuous wind?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If a man has constant wind, and he performs wudu, then goes to pray, and then what happens to him, what must he do...?

Answer:
This requires detail: If the wind is continuous, which is al-fasa', meaning wind, al-fasa' is known by people... and al-darad: that which has no sound, it is called al-darad, and that which has no sound: it is called fasa'. When Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him and grant him satisfaction) said: that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
The prayer of none amongst you would be accepted in a state of impurity until he performs ablution.لا تقبل صلاة أحدكم إذا أحدث حتى يتوضأ
Sahih Muslim 225
They said: O Abu Hurayrah, what is the hadath? He said: "Fasa' and darad," meaning this is a type of it, a type of hadath, and urination, and defecation, and eating camel meat, and sleep, all of these are hadath.
So the point is: If the wind is with him continuously; then he is like the one with incontinence, he prays according to his condition, but he does not perform wudu except when the time enters, when the time enters he performs wudu, and prays, even if wind comes out of him, even during the prayer, even if he urinates during the prayer, as long as the urine is continuous with him, there is no way around it:
So fear Allah as much as you are ableفَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ مَا اسْتَطَعْتُمْ
[Al-Taghabun:16] This is called the one with incontinence, this is like him when the wind is constant.
As for if it is not constant, but it occurs to him, if it occurs during the prayer, let him hold it if he can, if it is difficult for him; he relieves himself, and goes out, and performs wudu, and prays, even in his house, if he misses the prayer, praise be to Allah, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
Prayer should not be offered in presence of meals, nor at the moment when one is struggling with two evilsلا صلاة في حضرة الطعام، ولا وهو يدافعه الأخبثان
Sunan Abi Dawud 89Sahih (Al-Albani)
meaning urination, and defecation, and so wind .. if it harms him, and he cannot pray with it, he releases it, and prays in his house, performs wudu, and prays, but if it is continuous with him -constant with him- meaning he cannot pray with it, he releases it, and prays in his house, he goes to perform wudu, and prays, but if it is only continuous with him -constant with him- meaning he cannot .. from it, then he is excused, so he performs wudu when the time enters, and prays according to his condition, even if it comes out during his bowing, or prostration, and the like.

Question: Meaning he avoids the mosque?

Answer: No, he prays with the people.
