Prohibition
of continuing the prayer after having broken wind
*Please appropriately reference
this fatwa to: www.fatwa-online.com, thankyou!*
Question:
After having joined the first row of the (congregational)
prayer, someone broke wind and continued with his prayer as
he did not wish to disturb any of the people in the rows behind
him nor ruin their concentration. What is the ruling regarding
this?
Response:
We plead with Allaah that He forgives him.That which is obligatory
upon the person who has either broken wind whilst in prayer
or remembered that he is not in a state of wudhoo.
is that he breaks his prayer and goes and makes wudhoo.
and then he returns to re-join whatever remains of the (congregational)
prayer.
As
for the rows of people performing the congregational prayer,
then the sutrah of the imaam
suffices all of them. So, there is no harm if he were to pass
in front of the people. It is obligatory upon him to depart
calmly and peacefully so as not to disturb those who are (still)
praying.
