    Title: Passing of gas

    Question: Does passing of gas requires istinja (washing of anus) before praying? Also mention the other maslak in which it is to be done.

    Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !

    (Fatwa: 69/69/M=02/1437) It is not necessary to wash the anus merely by passing the wind. However wudhu breaks by passing the wind but the place does not become impure. Hence there is no need to wash the anus.
