"Releasing wind in front of people is ugly and shameful, especially if done intentionally. Its reprehensibility is confirmed when eating, and it may be unlawful if it causes harm or offense to others. However, when listening to a Quranic recitation, there is no sin in it for the listener alone, as long as it does not harm anyone and ritual purity is not a prerequisite for it. Nevertheless, it is preferable and better to leave out of respect for the Quran and glorification of God's rituals."
