Breaking wind while offering Salah necessitates leaving Salah, performing Wudu’, and then offering Salah anew


A: Anyone who breaks wind while performing Salah should leave it, perform Wudu’ (ablution) and then offer Salah anew, for his previous Wudu’ is nullified. However, if someone doubts whether he broke wind or not, he should not leave the Salah, but rather continues it, for the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: “He should not leave (Salah) until he hears a sound or smells an odor (of passing wind).” Coming out of the rows of worshipers does not interrupt their Salah. (Part No. 5; Page No. 442) May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
