• * From a religious advice column in Arab News (an English-language daily newspaper in Saudi Arabia), 5-9-03:

  
  

   "[Question] A person feels very uncomfortable during prayers because he gets recurrent thoughts that he might have discharged wind [during the prayers, and thus] invalidated the ablution."  "And it is all without sound or smell." 

  
  

  "[Answer] [A] wind discharge is ascertained by sound or smell.  If neither is present, then no wind discharge has taken place [and therefore the ablution has not been invalidated]."
