Ablution is not invalidated merely by doubting the emission of wind. One should rely on the original state, which is the persistence of purity, until there is certain and definitive conviction of impurity. There is a difference of opinion among scholars regarding the invalidation of ablution by the emission of wind from the front private part. It is permissible for a person afflicted by obsessive doubts () to adopt the easiest of the madhhabs (schools of thought). It is obligatory to disregard obsessive doubts and not pay attention to them.
