What Happens If You Fart While Doing Wudu?
Hi all readers! Are you looking for an explanation of “what happens if you fart while doing wudu?”? If your answer is “Yes”, congratulations! Now you are reading the right article. Why? Because that is what I will explain in this article. As Muslims, we must understand that. So, you should read it to the end!
Specifically, there are two important things about “what happens if you fart while doing wudu?” which I will explain in this article. Two important things I mean are as follows:
Is It a Sin to Fart While Doing Wudu?
The first important thing about “what happens if you fart while doing wudu?” what I will explain now is "is it a sin to fart while doing wudu?". I want you to understand that first before you read any further explanations in this article because that is one of the questions in this discussion that should be well understood.
Farting or flatus is a normal biological process, which occurs regularly and routinely and is normal for everyone.
Farting usually occurs several times a day, and is more common when you eat gassy foods. But on average, a person farts 5 to 15 times a day. In fact, some people may fart more than 40 times a day. This condition is known as excessive farting. Usually this is caused by problems in the digestive system.
What it means is that farting is a normal thing experienced by everyone, including Muslims. They can fart anywhere and anytime.
In Islam, there are many special discussions about farting. We can find one such discussion in the hadith below:
عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُوْلُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : الْعَيْنُ وِكَاءُ السَّهِ فَإِذَا نَامَتِ الْعَيْنَانِ اِسْتَطْلَقَ الْوِكَاءُ . رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ وَالطَّبْرَانِيُّ وَزَادَ : وَ مَنْ نَامَ فَلْيَتَوَضَّأْ
From Mu'awiyah radiyallahu anhu, he said, "The Messenger of Allah sallallhu alaihi wa sallam said, "The eye is the anal cord. If two eyes have slept then the string will be untied." The hadith was narrated by Ahmad and ath-Thabrani. He (ath-Thabrani) added (the hadith editor), "Whoever has been sleeping, let him perform wudu."
The hadith does not specifically explain fart (I have explained several things about it in previous articles). But if we read the hadith, we can understand that sleep is one of the conditions that can cause a person to fart even though he is not aware of it.
Now, if you ask me, "is it a sin to fart while doing wudu?", the answer is "No." The reason for that was because it was a normal thing that everyone experienced. Personally, I have not found an explanation that farting while performing wudu is a sin.
That's a brief explanation of "is it a sin to fart while doing wudu?". As Muslims, we must understand that.
What Happens If You Fart While Doing Wudu?
The second important point about “what happens if you fart while doing wudu?” what I'm going to explain now is a specific answer. So, I really hope you guys read the explanation below very well.
One important thing I want to say before I give you the answer to that question (what happens if you fart while doing wudu?) is that certain things are done in certain ways and certain prayers.
Some of the common things in wudu are gargling, washing the face, washing two hands up to the elbows, wiping some of the hair of the head, wiping two ears, and washing two feet to the ankles.
The main purpose of wudu according to Islamic law is to purify the body from minor hadas (الحَدَثُ الأَصْغَرُ). If you don't do all the things in wudu, your wudu is invalid.
In Islam, wudu is very important because it is the most important way to remove minor hadas (الحَدَثُ الأَصْغَرُ)—the second way is tayammum if Muslims are unable to perform wudu. If there is a small hadas (الحَدَثُ الأَصْغَرُ) in the body of the Muslims, they are not allowed to perform acts of worship that require them to be in a holy condition. One of them is prayer.
We can find an explanation of it all in some of the hadiths below:
عَنْ أَبِيْ هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ رَسُوْلُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : لَا يَقْبَلُ اللهُ صَلَاةَ أَحَدِكُمْ إِذَا أَحْدَثَ حَتَّى يَتَوَضَّأَ . مُتَّفَقٌ عَلَيْهِ
From Abu Hurairah radiyallahu anhu, that the Messenger of Allah (Prophet Muhammad) sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, "Allah does not accept someone's prayer from you if he has hadas (small hadas: الحَدَثُ الأَصْغَرُ) until he performs wudu." This hadith was narrated by al-Bukhari and Muslim.
عَنْ أَبِيْ هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ : قاَلَ رَسُوْلُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : إِذَا وَجَدَ أَحَدُكُمْ فِيْ بَطْنِهِ شَيْئًا فَأَشْكَلَ عَلَيْهِ أَخَرَجَ مِنْهُ شَيْءٌ أَمْ لَا ؟ فَلَا يَخْرُجَنَّ مِنَ الْمَسْجِدِ حَتَّى يَسْمَعَ صَوْتًا أَوْ يَجِدَ رِيْحًا . أَخْرَجَهُ مُسْلِمٌ
From Abu Hurairah radiyallahu anhu, he said, "The Messenger of Allah (Prophet Muhammad) sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, "If one of you finds something in his stomach, then he doubts whether something has come out of him or not? So, he is not allowed to leave the mosque until he hears a sound or smells an aroma." This hadith was narrated by Muslim.
وَعَنْ عَبَّادِ بْنِ تَمِيمٍ ، عَنْ عَمِّهِ ، أَنَّهُ شَكَا إِلَى رَسُوْلِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الرَّجُلُ الَّذِي يُخَيَّلُ إِلَيْهِ أَنَّهُ يَجِدُ الشَّىْءَ فِي الصَّلاَةِ . فَقَالَ : لاَ يَنْفَتِلْ أَوْ لاَ يَنْصَرِفْ حَتَّى يَسْمَعَ صَوْتًا أَوْ يَجِدَ رِيحًا
From 'Abbad bin Tamim, from his uncle, that there was once a man who complained to the Messenger of Allah (Prophet Muhammad) sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, that he hesitated as if he found something (fart) in his prayer (salat). He then said, "He must not move or leave until he hears the voice or smells the smell."
عَنْ عَلِيٍّ بْنِ طَلْقٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُوْلُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : إِذَا فَسَا أَحَدُكُمْ فِي الصَّلَاةِ فَلْيَنْصَرِفْ وَلْيَتَوَضَّأْ وَلْيُعِدْ الصَّلَاةَ . رَوَاهُ الْخَمْسَةَ
From Ali bin Thalq radliyallahu anhu, he said, "The Messenger of Allah (Prophet Muhammad) has said, "If one of you has emitted a soundless wind from his anus while praying (salat), then let him go out and perform wudu, then repeat the prayer (salat)." The hadith was narrated by five people (Ahmad, Abu Daud, at-Tirmidhi, an-Nasa'i, Ibn Majah).
So, if you ask me, "what happens if you fart while doing wudu?", the answer is "Your wudu is invalid and you have to perform wudu again."
That's a brief explanation of "what happens if you fart while doing wudu?" and some important things about it. Do you understand? If you want to ask, please ask!
I think that's enough for this article. May be useful. Amen.
