· 4 Rajab 1443 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

Is the prayer of someone who has inserted something into its rectum (to block flatulence) before doing wudhu and removed it after praying valid?

Answer

If there was no gas, fluid, or anything else that had come out during the wudhu till the end of the salaah, then his salaah will be valid.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
