What are the scholarly opinions regarding the ablution of a person afflicted with constant flatulence who is able to seek treatment, and what is the most preponderant view closest to the evidence?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The Malikis stated that if a person afflicted with constant flatulence, urinary incontinence, or other similar conditions is able to stop the flow through treatment or marriage, then their flow invalidates ablution. However, non-Malikis did not differentiate in the ruling concerning constant flow between those able to stop it and those unable. Treatment for constant flow is permissible according to the preponderant opinion.
