Does the movement of gases in the rectum without their expulsion nullify ablution?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Wind emanating from the anus nullifies ablution, as the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "He should not leave (his prayer) until he hears a sound or perceives a smell." If you doubt the nullification of ablution due to the emission of wind, the default is the persistence of purity.
