The answer

Scholars differ on whether the emission of gas from the front private part (qabul) invalidates ablution (wudu’). The Hanafis and Malikis believe it does not invalidate it due to the absence of explicit proof. The Shafi’is and Hanbalis, however, believe it does, based on the general meaning of the and by analogy () with all other excretions from the two private parts (anterior and posterior). This latter opinion is more cautious. Ablution is only invalidated by certainty of gas emission, not merely by doubt. If the gas emission is continuous, such that it does not stop for a time sufficient for purification and prayer, then it is considered سلس ريح ( سلس ريح - incontinence of gas), and the person performing ablution must perform it for each prayer, and its emission during prayer does not harm their prayer.
