Does a bubble exiting the front private part—without sound or smell—nullify ablution, especially when one is afflicted with obsessive thoughts concerning purity and prayer?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Dismiss these obsessive thoughts and do not rule that something has exited except with absolute certainty. Do not repeat a prayer or ablution except with this certainty. What you feel about a wind from the private parts is a whisper [from Satan], and you can adopt the Maliki view that it does not nullify ablution. A person suffering from obsessive thoughts is permitted to adopt the easiest of the madhhabs (schools of thought).
