What is the ruling on performing the prayers by someone who resists flatulence / gases as a result of IBS (irritable bowel syndrome)?
Answer
Praise Be to Allah and Peace Be Upon His Messenger.
The prayer performed by someone who resists flatulence/ gases is valid although it is undesirable to do so. Since you are considered excused as you suffer from IBS, and it could be difficult to keep giving up the prayers to perform ablution over and over to get one prayer done, we hope that your prayers are valid, and there will be no hardship on you. I recommend that you ask a physician and obey their instructions. May Allah cure you.
