What is the ruling on the prayer of someone who suffers from continuous flatulence that is released immediately after defecating, and sometimes takes a long time to stop?
If your feeling of passing gas is merely a waswasa (whispering from Satan), then pay no attention to it. However, if you are certain that gas has been released, and you find sufficient time for purification (tahara) and prayer, then wait and pray. But if its release is continuous, without interruption, preventing you from purification and prayer, or if its interruption is irregular, then your ruling is that of someone afflicted with سلس (incontinence). In this case, you perform ablution (wudu') after the time for prayer has begun and pray with this ablution the obligatory (fard) and supererogatory (nawafil) prayers until the time for that prayer exits.
