Answered by: Alimah Humairah Badshah

Question:

I was praying my salah and whilst sitting and i heard an air bubble come out from my front passage and it made a popping sound. Most of the times I dont hear a sound but the feeling of it come out so does this invalidate my salah as i heard the popping sound.

I’ve researched and i’ve seen that gas from the front side is considered pure and only if it’s from the back passage, the wudhu will need to be repeated. I didn’t redo my wudu because i was under the impression that it doesn’t invalidate the wudhu but because of the sound it made, I am having doubts.

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

Answer:

Wind from the front private part does not break wudhu. This applies even if one hears a sound. Therefore, your salah will have been valid.
