Question
If a person is doing wudoo’ and hears his stomach rumble, but does not pass wind from his back passage, what is the ruling? Does he still have wudoo’ or does this break his wudoo’?
Answer
Praise be to Allah.If a person has wudoo’ and hears the sound of wind or gas inside
his stomach, this does not break his wudoo’ if he does not pass anything, because the
Prophet
(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “If any one of you notices
something in his stomach and is not sure whether anything came out of him, he should not
leave the mosque unless he hears a sound or smells a smell.” (Reported by
Muslim, 1/190)
