What are the consequences of passing wind during the post-prostration (sujūd al-ba'dī): repeating the post-prostration after ablution, or repeating the entire obligatory prayer?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

If someone invalidates their ablution during the prostrations of forgetfulness (sujud al-sahw) that are performed after the salaam, their prayer remains valid, but it is recommended for them to perform ablution and repeat the prostrations.

However, if the prostrations of forgetfulness that are performed before the salaam are delayed by the worshipper until after the salaam, their prayer becomes invalid if these prostrations were necessitated by omitting three Sunnah acts. If they were necessitated by omitting fewer than three Sunnah acts, their prayer remains valid, but it is recommended for them to perform ablution and repeat the prostrations.
