Is it permissible to adopt the fatwa that the emission of wind does not nullify ablution, especially given the discomfort caused by retaining wind during prayer?

This understanding is an anomaly and contrary to what the scholars have unanimously agreed upon. Allah says: (And whoever contradicts the Messenger after guidance has become clear to him and follows other than the way of the believers - We will give him what he has taken and drive him into Hell, and evil it is as a destination). The scholars have unanimously agreed that the emission of wind from the anus is an impurity that nullifies ablution. And praying while suppressing the urge to pass wind is disliked (makrooh).
