Vaginal flatulence.

Question

Well i wanted to know whether vaginal flatulence (passing wind from the vagina) break wudu Because i heard that vaginal flatulence is different, it doesnt contain waste gages and its released from trapped air When i exercise, i can feel bubbles escaping, especially wen i'm praying as that involves a level of activity.. I have been told that regular discharge doesnt break wudhu but at times i could feel bubbles escaping when passing discharge too This is very problematic for me as it is hard to keep wudhu when travelling or when at university. It is hard to do wudhu repeatedly when at uni.

Also, At time when i'm praying, it feels like i have passed wind, i could feel bubbles of wind passing but no bowel Movement, i know i haven't passed wind but i could feel air passing. Please enlighten me on this topic as i am struggling to read salah with concentration jazakallah khair

Answer

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.

Vaginal flatulence (wind that passes through the vagina) does not break one’s wudhu. [i]
