What should a woman do who suffers from obsessive doubt and uncertainty regarding her ablution (wudu'), who doubts during prayer whether wind has been emitted, while this does not occur outside of prayer, and who suffers from headaches and shortness of breath?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The cure for the obsessive doubt about passing wind during prayer is to ignore it, based on the Prophet's (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) saying: "He should not leave (the prayer) or turn away until he hears a sound or perceives a smell."
