Holding one's urge to pass wind in Salaah
Question
What should be done if while praying one is not sure if they broke their wudhu due to wind? I often try to hold the wind but I am not sure if
I was able to hold it or if I let it out slowly?
Answer
If one is sure, then the wudhu and Salaah is broken.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
