Salah Rules for Person with Wudhu Issues

Question

A person is finding it difficult to keep wudhu due to constantly breaking wind, has had to stop attending the masjid due to the problem, he also sits to offer his salah, what can he do regarding his salah as he needs to make wudhu several times for one namaz?

Answer

wudhu is nullified by the passing of urine (even a drop), breaking wind, seepage from injury. If someone is suffering continuously from any of these ailments and he could not be able to offer salah with Wudu during complete span from starting to ending of a Salah timing, he is a Shar’i Ma’zur (lawfully exempted). He may offer as many Ṣalah as he likes with one wudhu during that span; his wudhu will not become invalid by that ailment.

If your condition is like this, then you are a Shar’i Ma’zur, so you should pray according to the prescribed method.

And if your condition is not like this, then you have to perform salah along with wudhu, no matter how many times you have to perform wudhu.

Note: Here fard salah means fard rakaat.
