I suffer from Excessive Gas

Question :

I suffer from excessive gas, which prevents me from praying and affects me during prayers. Should I stop praying, or continue praying while I am not in a state of ritual purity; and even though I make ablution many times for prayer, causing me a great deal of anguish and distress, because it is very tiring and burdensome, especially during the cold weather?

Answer:

You must try to preserve your Wudhu' during prayer, but if these emissions are continuous and unceasing, those who are so afflicted are considered to be like those who suffer from a continual flow of urine, or have continuous vaginal bleeding, Their Wudhu' is not invalidated by it, due to the hardship, but you should seek treatment as soon as possible.
