Is a person who suffers from excessive flatulence at dawn, which delays their ablution and prayer, and then prays while the emission occurs during the prayer, considered to have a perpetual ritual impurity (da'im al-hadath)? Is their action valid, and what is the criterion for excuse in this situation?

If the ritual impurity is continuous or intermittent in an unknown manner, the one performing ablution should perform it once after the time for prayer begins and pray with that ablution as many obligatory and supererogatory prayers as he wishes until the time for that prayer expires.
