Does hearing a sound from inside the belly without the emission of wind necessitate performing ablution and repeating the prayer?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
A Muslim should not leave his prayer or ablution if he doubts that something has exited him until he is certain of it by hearing a sound or smelling an odor, because the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "If one of you finds something in his stomach and is unsure whether something has exited him or not, he should not leave the mosque until he hears a sound or smells an odor." The principle is that purity remains, and certainty is not removed by doubt.
