Can I still pray if I fart?

Published in Islamic Prayer Rules 1 min read

No, you cannot continue praying if you fart.

According to Islamic teachings, passing wind invalidates your wudu', which is a requirement for performing salah (prayer). This applies regardless of whether there is a noticeable smell or sound.

Here's a breakdown of what to do:

  • If you are sure that you have passed wind, your wudu' is invalidated.
  • If it happens during salah, you need to break off the salah and go and repeat your wudu' and salah.
Action Description
Passing Wind Invalidates your wudu'.
During Salah Immediately stop praying.
Perform Wudu' Go and perform wudu' again.
Repeat Salah Start your prayer again from the beginning after performing wudu'.

Therefore, if you fart during prayer, you must stop, perform wudu', and then repeat the prayer.
