Does Doubt Break Wudu?

Does Doubt Break Wudu? ~ Hi all readers! In this article, I will explain the status of a condition that is often experienced by a Muslim when he is praying. The description of the chronology is like this, "Now we are praying. Suddenly in our minds, there are doubts, are we farting or not? "If we are experiencing such conditions, what should we do, even though we understand, on the other hand, that farting can break wudu?

As always, before I answer the question above and speak more about does doubt break wudu, I will present the hadith of the Prophet Muhammad that related to our discussion.

Hadith About Doubt and Wudu

The hadith about doubt and wudu that I mean is as follows:

عَنْ اِبْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُمَا أَنَّ رَسُوْلَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ ؛ يَأْتِي أَحَدَكُمْ الشَّيْطَانُ فِيْ صَلَاتِهِ فَيَنْفُخُ فِيْ مَقْعَدَتِهِ فَيُخَيَّلُ إِلَيْهِ أَنَّهُ أَحْدَثَ ، وَلَمْ يَحْدِثْ ، فَإِذَا وَجَدَ ذَلِكَ فَلَا يَنْصَرِفْ حَتَّى يَسْمَعَ صَوْتًا أَوْ يَجِدْ رِيْحًا . أَخْرَجَهُ الْبَزَّارُ

From Ibn Abbas the radliyallahu anhuma, that the Messenger of Allah sallallahu ‘alaihi wa sallam once said, “Satan comes to one of you when the person is praying. The devil then drew the ass of the person and made him fantasize that he had worshiped, even though he did not have a prayer. If he finds such a condition, he cannot leave until he hears a sound or finds a smell.” The hadith is narrated by al-Bazzar.

All readers! If we observe the hadith above, then we know that until whenever Satan will not let us go, even when praying. He will always strive so that we do not carry out our obligations as Muslims. He will always damage the good deeds that we have done and that we are doing, especially prayer.

There are some things we need to know about the hadith above;

1. Satan can master servants when the servant is worshiping. Setting to do that is by making him confused, whether he has canceled or not. The aim is for him to cancel his worship. If we experience such conditions, then we must not cancel the worship that we are doing unless we are sure that our wudu has been canceled.
2. The wind (fart) that coming out of the anus can break ablution.
3. The hadith is the stipulation of a rule, that belief cannot be eliminated by doubt.

The people who have narrated the hadith are al-Bazzar Abu Bakr Ahmad ibn Umar bin Abdul Khaliq al-Bashri. He has narrated the hadith from Athabrani and others. He died in 252 hijria.

Now, if you ask me, "Does doubt break wudu?", the answer is "No. Doubt does not break wudu."
