The Blowing of Satan
Question :
I feel when I begin prayer and after performing one or two Rak'ahs, that I have broken wind; does this invalidate the Wudhu' or not? And if this is continuous, what should I do?
Answer:
It seems as if this is the whispering of Satan, which is intended to cause the worshipper to ruin his acts of worship, or make them a burden to him; and it has been reported in a Hadith on the authority of Ibn 'Abbas, may Allah be pleased with him, from the Prophet that he said:
"Satan comes to one of you during his prayers and blows at his backside, so that he thinks that he has broken wind, although he has not; so if this happens, he should not leave (the prayer) unless he hears a sound or smells an odor.
This was reported in Bulugh Al-Maram.
And it was reported on the authority of Abu Sa'id, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Prophet said:
*If the devil comes to any of you and says: "You have broken wind." - it should be said to him: "You are a liar."
That is, one should say it to himself. Therefore, we advise the questioner not to pay any attention to these Satanic thoughts and imaginings, so that they will stop quickly. However, if this is definitely real, and it is, as he says, continuous, then the ruling for him is that of one who continually breaks wind, and its emission during prayer or whenever it occurs will not nullify his Wudhu', like the continual flow of urine, because constantly repeating one's ablution entails hardship, therefore, he should remain in prayer and make Wudhu' for every obligatory prayer when it becomes due.
