What is the ruling concerning my prayer if gases are emitted from me while there is stool that is difficult to pass in the intestines, knowing that this takes a long time for me?

The questioner is advised to ignore whispers (). Regarding the emission of gas during prayer: If it is merely a doubt or a whisper, it should be ignored. However, if one is certain, then if it ceases for a time sufficient for purification and prayer, one must wait for that time. If it does not cease, then it falls under the ruling of سلس (incontinence), and one must perform ablution for each prayer after its time has begun, and the emission of gas thereafter does not invalidate it.
