Question:<\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Assalamu Alaikum. I suffer from gas problems and pass wind often. I was preparing for the Isha prayer and was doing wudu in the washroom. While doing this I had the urge to pass wind but I kept it in. Then after maybe 2 3 minutes, I smelled something similar to the smell when a person passes wind. Only 3 or 4 minutes remained till the time of congregation and I suffer from a lot of waswassas so I thought maybe this is shaitan trying to make me late for prayer and also I smelled at 2 3 minutes after I held in the wind so it didn’t make sense that I would smell it this late. So I didn’t redo wudu.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

But in the hadith, it is said that if we smell something we should redo wudu but I wasn’t certain whether that smell was from my wind or not and if it was then how could I smell it late. So did I do the wrong thing or the right?<\/span><\/p>\n

Answer:<\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If you are suffering from doubts in regard to whether you have passed gas or not, it is important to take into account the ruling \u2018certainty is not overcome by doubt\u2019.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The meaning of this is that if you are certain, you have not passed wind then any doubt that occurs as a result of whispers should not be ignored. However, it is important to take into account things like smell, and other signs. It is also recommended to speak to a doctor in regard to this who may be able to provide a diagnosis in which case you will be regarded as \u201cma\u2019zoor\u201d [excused].<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If at the time you believed you had wudhu and did not pass wind with certainty, then you are not at fault and did the correct thing. You may have a gastric medical condition, or the smell may have been from something else.<\/span><\/p>\n
