Answer:
In the
name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help and ask for His forgiveness.
Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever He allows to fall astray,
none can guide them aright. We bear witness that there is no one (no idol, no
person, no grave, no prophet, no imam,
no dai, nobody!) worthy of
worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that Muhammad(saws) is His
slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.
Sunan of Abu-Dawood Hadith 205 Narrated
by Ali ibn Talq
The Messenger of Allah (saws) said: ‘When any of you breaks wind
during the prayer, he should turn away and perform ablution and repeat the
prayer.’
Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith 1.137 Narrated
by Abu Huraira
Allah's Messenger (saws) said, "The prayer of a person who
does Hadath is not accepted till he performs (repeats) the ablution." A
person from Hadaramout asked Abu Huraira, "What is 'Hadath'?" Abu Huraira replied, " 'Hadath' means
the passing of wind from the anus."
To be in
a valid state of ‘wudu’ is an obligatory condition of prayer; thus if one
breaks his wudu at any time during the prayer, it is obligatory upon him to
leave the congregation immediately, redo his wudu and start his prayer
again. Regardless of whether the person
is praying in the first or last row, he must leave the congregation immediately
to re-do his wudu, and repeat the prayer again.
Beloved
brother, the principle in Islam is that one must act only on convictions, not on doubts! Thus, only if you are absolutely convinced
that you have released wind after performing wudu for prayer, either by hearing
its sound or through its foul smell,
only then will you have to repeat the wudu again.
But if
you have a doubt that wind might have been released, or your stomach is making sounds, or any other doubts in that regard
whatsoever; you should not worry about
it at all, as doubts do not invalidate your
wudu for prayer. Only if you are
absolutely convinced that you have released wind, you will have to redo the wudu.
Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith 1.139 Narrated
by Abbas bin Tamim
My uncle asked Allah's Messenger (saws) about a person who
imagined to have passed wind during the prayer.
Allah' s Messenger (saws) replied: "He should not leave his prayers
unless he hears sound or smells something."
Al-Tirmidhi Hadith 310 Narrated
by Abu Hurayrah
Allah's Messenger (saws) said:
“No ablution is necessary except in the case of sound (of wind), or the foul smell (of wind).”
Your
Question: also while offering namaz i feel that drop of urine is coming.
Reported Hadrat Ali ibn Abi Taalib (r.a.) , “I used to have a
great deal of prostatic fluid flowing, so I asked a man to ask the Prophet
(saws) about it (as I was shy to ask
him, due to my relationship with him through his daughter). He asked him and the Prophet (saws), said,
"Make ablution and wash your penis." (Related by al-Bukhari and
others.)
Al-Athram narrated, "I was bothered by a great deal of
madhi, so I went to the Prophet (saws), and informed him of this. He said
'It is sufficient for you to take a handful of water and sprinkle it
over (the madhi)."'
Brother, the organ of the men, whereby the urine is discharged has a long
tube, therefore it is possible that even
after one has washed his private area clean after relieving himself; a few drops may remain in the tube which may
drop after one gets up or moves. If
one is convinced that some urine drops have fallen after he has cleansed
himself, he should wash his private
parts and the area of the clothes the urine drops might have touched
again, do the wudu and perform the
prayers. There is absolutely no need to
do the full ghusl.
Whatever
written of Truth and benefit is only due to Allah’s Assistance and Guidance,
and whatever of error is of me. Allah
Alone Knows Best and He is the Only Source of Strength.
Your Brother in Islam,
