Is it permissible to pray in my current state when gases persist for a long time, knowing that this does not occur daily?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

If an invalidator of ablution persists to the point where the time for the obligatory prayer is feared to expire, one should perform ablution and pray in that state, and the exiting impurity will not harm them. Ibn Taymiyyah stated in Majmu' al-Fatawa that a prayer whose time is about to expire if delayed should be performed within its time as much as possible, and that whoever cannot maintain ritual purity for the duration of the prayer should perform ablution and pray, and whatever exits them will not harm them. The jurists differ on the ruling regarding the irregular cessation of gases.
