Does Farting Nulify The Prayer?

nadeem

Hi there,

On a side note, is the word 'fart' ever used in the quran?

Nadeem

farah

salaam,

56 O you who believe, when you observe the contact prayer, you shall wash your faces and your hands to your elbows, wipe your heads and wash your feet to the ankles. However, if you are unclean due to sexual orgasm, then you shall bathe. And if you are ill or on travel and cannot find water, and any of you has digestive excretion or has touched women, then you shall perform dry ablution with clean dry soil by wiping your faces and your hands with it. God does not wish to cause you hardship but wishes to cleanse you and to complete His blessings upon you that you may be appreciative.

i think the key to understanding your question is deciding whether or not passing gas falls under "digestive excretion".

i don't think it has anything to do with human opinions of what is "disgusting". menstruation isn't mentioned anywhere in this verse.

peace,

peace farah, all,

I sincerely suggest you use the search function of this forum for this question. It has already been answered, like ~90% of "salat" questions that get asked here.

Also, I wouldn't go by a translation, as ALL are imperfect.

Farah,

Digestive excretion including burping and vomiting?

farah

Joe,

Good question...I do not know!! Maybe if we are in doubt, the best solution is to simply do the ablution.

Peace,

I wouldn't fart in front of my boss or in an interview. So I don't think it's appropriate when I'm making a connection with God. I don't know if it is forbidden or not, I just would feel wrong doing it only because I believe I owe my Creator that much respect. I understand it is totally natural, it's also totally rude, in my humble opinion. And my opinion could be totally wrong and subjective.

burping and vomiting is not excretion but regurgitation

Peace lacdivian,

It is not just regurgitation; vomiting also contains gastric secretions, but I agree they are not "excretions".

I agree; and its not just the "boss" but other fellow humans also when in a congregation salat.

Could someone explain to me, why they even would take time to answer this question?
