I have a gas problem what should I do?
Question
ASSALAAMUALAIKUM,
I HAD A QUESTION ABOUT A PERSON WHO HAS A PROBLEM OF GAS AND CANNOT KEEP HIS OR HER WUDHU. IT IS LIKE EVERY 5 TO 10 MINUTES HE/SHE HAS A PROBLEM OF GAS AND HAS TO FART AND IF HE/SHE DOES NOT DO THAT, HE/SHE HAS A PROBLEM OF ACIDITY.
I WILL APPRECIATE IF YOU WILL THROW SOME LIGHT ON IT WHAT DOES THE RELIGION SAY ABOUT IT.
THANK YOU,
WASSALAAM.
Answer
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.
If you are unable to perform Wudhu and two rakaats Salaah within the time period stated by you before passing wind, you may consider yourself a Ma’zoor (excused person).[1]
Your Wudhu will be valid for an entire Salaah time. You should repeat your Wudhu upon the expiry of a Salaah time.[2]
And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
