The answer addresses two situations: The first is a discharge other than semen. If it is continuous, its ruling is that of سلس (incontinence), and it necessitates ablution (وضوء) for each prayer after its time has begun. The second is the feeling of gas being released. If it is a mere whisper (وسوسة), it should be disregarded. If it is real: if it is continuous throughout the prayer, then it is سلس (incontinence); but if it stops during the prayer time, then it is not سلس, and its emission invalidates ablution, even if the person is someone who experiences سلس مذي (incontinence of pre-seminal fluid).
