Wudhu, farting, flatulence, doubts, waswaas (URGENT HELP)

[a.s.]

The things is, someone must know the answer because how are the imams of hurmain able to keep their wudhu for so long and other imams whilst reading tarweeh for 2 hours.

Interesting question. I'd like to know the answer to that. How are Imams, especially of the harmain, able to keep wudhu for so long? As far as im concerned, I've never heard of a case where an Imam had to walk out of salah because he passed gas. Has this ever happened before to a professional Imam?

[umairel]

Also, any doctor or hakeem here must suggest medicine/food to reduce the gas problem. I usually intend to recite Quran after Namaz but often the gas pressure don't allow me so.

I'm not sure but I heard that in hanafi fiqh if you break you wudu due to something involuntary whilst being the imam then youre menat to pull someone from behind to continue the salah whilst you do wudhu. But I have no idea how thats actually meant to happen, I desperately need to ask a scholar inshallah.

Also I desperately need more people to comment on this thread inshallah as I might be leading my first tarweeh this year and do not want to invalidate everyone elses salah behind me.

I heard that chewing your food properly helps a lot and trying to have a balance diet avoiding stuff like beans and brochily

Islam teaches us that we should not be shy in seeking knowledge so please don't get afended and regard this thread as rude. Sometimes I have to keep my wudhu for long and it cuase inconvienance to keep and repeating it. A lot of time in need to pass flatulence/ fart/ wind but because I don't want to break my wudu I hold it in, but what I dont understand is how come the urge for farting goes after that. It doesn't make sense sometimes I feel a small amount of gas coming out but I'm not sure. I have searched the internet "where do farts go when you hold them in", do you slowly release them without you releasing or does it get sucked back into your back passage and just come out latter. After looking at a few sites it seams that they are sucked back in but I am doubtly. It does not make sense because if you kept on using this method then you will probably be able to go your whole life without letting of gas, so is this possible.

What are you views where do farts go when you hold them in, someone please get back to me as soon as possible, because I need to know whether or not my wudhu is intact.

it is not advisable to hold either urine or stools or gas as a habit

the harmful effects of this will reveal themselves in the future

try to decrease gas forming foods,eats slowly with chewing and mouth closed,water in sips ,etc

basically try to follow sunnah

but what do you do if you need to let of gas whilst leading others as a imam

Then you hold your nose as if to signal a nose bleed, pull the closest person behind you to the front, and then make for the bathroom.

As for the original question:

Gas is created by microbes within your bowels. There is a threshold that has to be reached before the body feels that it needs to release flatulence. It is a gradual increase so you cannot hold in flatulence forever (people normally cannot hold in gas for more than a day and a half).

[Yusuf97]

Then you hold your nose as if to signal a nose bleed, pull the closest person behind you to the front, and then make for the bathroom.

But how do you pull someone the closest person from behind, i don't understand this part. Because if you turn arround then your chest would not be facing the qibla so your prayer would break and so would those behind them. Also you can't talk to tell the person behind you. And if the person behind you walks to many steps I think his salah also breaks because in hanfi fiqh your not meant to do something that makes it seam as if your now in prayer. I need to ask a scholar inshallah.
