Hi! Are you looking for an explanation of holding fart during salah? If your answer is “Yes”, congratulations! Now you are reading the right article. Why? Because that is what I will explain in this article. As Muslims, we must understand that. That's why I wrote this article. So, you should read it to the end!
Specifically, there are five important things about holding fart during salah which I will explain in this article. The five important things I mean are as follows:
Is It a Sin to Hold the Fart During Salah?
The first important thing about holding fart during salah which I will explain now is “is it a sin to hold the fart during salah?”. I want you to understand that before you read any further explanations in this article because that is one of the important things in this discussion that must be well understood.
Actually, there is one important question that we must understand first before we answer this question (is it a sin to hold the fart during salah?). The question I mean is "is farting a sin?".
In Islam, there are many special discussions about farting. We can find one such discussion in the hadith below:
عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُوْلُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : الْعَيْنُ وِكَاءُ السَّهِ فَإِذَا نَامَتِ الْعَيْنَانِ اِسْتَطْلَقَ الْوِكَاءُ . رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ وَالطَّبْرَانِيُّ وَزَادَ : وَ مَنْ نَامَ فَلْيَتَوَضَّأْ
From Mu'awiyah radiyallahu anhu, he said, "The Messenger of Allah sallallhu alaihi wa sallam said, "The eye is the anal cord. If two eyes have slept then the string will be untied." The hadith was narrated by Ahmad and ath-Thabrani. He (ath-Thabrani) added (the hadith editor), "Whoever has been sleeping, let him perform wudu."
The hadith does not specifically explain fart (I have explained several things about it in previous articles). But if we read the hadith, we can understand that sleep is one of the conditions that can cause a person to fart even though he is not aware of it.
Now, if you ask me, “is farting a sin?”, the answer is “No”. The reason for that was because it was a normal thing that everyone experienced. Personally, I have not found an explanation that farting is a sin in Islam.
Now, is it a sin to hold the fart during salah?
If we read some Islamic legal literature on salah, we will not find an explanation of sin in salah. Why? Because in general the discussion in some Islamic legal literacy regarding salah is a discussion of the obligations before salah, obligations during salah, recommendations before salah, recommendations during salah, and prohibitions during salah.
So, is it a sin to hold the fart during salah?
In simple terms, I want to say that holding the fart during salah is not a sin.
That's a brief explanation of "is it a sin to hold the fart during salah?". As Muslims, we must understand that.
Does Holding Fart During Salah Break Salah?
The second important point about holding fart during salah which I will explain now is “does holding fart during salah break salah?”. I want you to understand that now because it is one of the important questions about holding the fart during salah that must be well understood.
In simple terms, I want to say that holding the fart during salah does not break salah. Salah will only be broken if we do things that can break salah, such as not facing Qiblah, changing niyyah, having hadas, and so on.
That's a brief explanation of "does holding fart during salah break salah?". As Muslims, we must understand that.
Is It OK to Holding Fart During Salah?
The third important point about holding fart during salah which I will explain now is "is it ok to holding fart during salah?". I want you to understand that now because it is one of the important questions in this discussion that must be well understood.
In simple terms, I want to say that you must hold your farts during salah. Why? Because farting is one of the things that can break salah. So, if you want to fart during salah, you have to hold the fart.
That is a brief explanation of "is it ok to holding fart during salah?". As Muslims, we must understand that.
What Happens If You Hold A Fart During Salah?
The fourth important point about holding fart during salah which I will explain now is “what happens if you hold a fart during salah?”. I want you to understand that now because it is one of the important questions about holding the fart during salah that must be well understood.
In simple terms, I want to say that holding fart during salah can break concentration during salah. Concentration during salah is one of the things that must be done. We can find this explanation in the hadith below:
عَنْ أَنَسٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ ؛ كَانَ قِرَامٌ لِعَائِشَةَ سَتَرَتْ بِهِ جَانِبَ بَيْتِهَا . فَقَالَ لَهَا النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ؛ أَمِيْطِيْ عَنَّا قِرَامَكِ هَذَا فَإِنَّهُ لَا تَزَالُ تَصَاوِيْرُهُ تَعْرِضُ لِيْ فِيْ صَلَاتِيْ . رَوَاهُ الْبُخَارِيُّ
From Anas radliyallaahu ‘anhu, he said, "Aisha had Qiram which she used to cover the side of her house. The Prophet (Muhammad) sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam then said, "Get rid of this Qiram from us. Indeed, the pictures always come to me in my prayer. "The hadith is narrated by al-Bukhari.
That's a brief explanation of "what happens if you hold a fart during salah?". As Muslims, we must understand that.
What Should You Do If You Can't Hold Your Fart During Salah?
The fifth important point about holding fart during salah which I will explain now is “what should you do if you can't hold your fart during salah?”. I want you to understand that at the end of this discussion so that you have a good understanding of holding the fart during salah after reading this article. So, I really hope you read the explanation below very well.
There are two things you should do if you can't hold your fart during salah:
- You have to fart.
- After you fart, you have to perform wudu and repeat the salah from the beginning.
Why is that? Because if you have farted, you have hadas. You should not pray if you have hadas. We can find this explanation in the hadith below:
عَنْ عَلِيٍّ بْنِ طَلْقٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُوْلُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : إِذَا فَسَا أَحَدُكُمْ فِي الصَّلَاةِ فَلْيَنْصَرِفْ وَلْيَتَوَضَّأْ وَلْيُعِدْ الصَّلَاةَ . رَوَاهُ الْخَمْسَةَ
From Ali bin Thalq radiyallahu anhu, he said, "The Messenger of Allah shallallahu alaihi wa sallam said, "If any of you emits a soundless wind from his anus while salah, then let him go out and perform wudu, then repeat his salah." The hadith was narrated by five people (Ahmad, Abu Daud, at-Tirmidhi, an-Nasa'i, Ibn Majah).
عَنْ أَبِيْ هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ رَسُوْلُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : لَا يَقْبَلُ اللهُ صَلَاةَ أَحَدِكُمْ إِذَا أَحْدَثَ حَتَّى يَتَوَضَّأَ . مُتَّفَقٌ عَلَيْهِ
From Abu Hurairah radiyallahu anhu, that the Messenger of Allah (Prophet Muhammad) sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, "Allah does not accept someone's salah from you if he has hadas (small hadas) until he performs ablution." This hadith was narrated by al-Bukhari and Muslim.
That's a brief explanation of "what should you do if you can't hold your fart during salah?". As Muslims, we must understand that.
That's a brief explanation of holding fart during salah and some important things about it. Do you understand? If you want to ask, please ask!
