If you don't know you passed gas etc. does your salat count? If you don't know a thing breaks wudu and you've done before must you make up your prayers? Are we counted for what we don't know?

Answer
In principle, a person shall be considered in the state of Wudhu until he has full conviction that this Wudhu did not break. (al-Ashbah)
Nabi (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) said, 'If a person is confused to whether his Wudhu broke or not, then he should leave the Musjid until he is sure that his Wudhu broke.' (Mishkaat pg.40; Qadeemi)

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
