Does the feeling of gas and the attempt to resist it without it exiting nullify ablution and prayer, especially if it is continuous?

Suppressing wind during prayer does not invalidate ablution (Wudu') or nullify the prayer. Pushing it back, if it does not exit, has no effect. However, if gases continuously exit most of the time, it is considered akin to سلس (incontinence).
