Our religious studies teacher told us
that it is makrooh (disliked) to do wudoo’ after breaking wind, and that if a person
passes wind from his back passage after making wudoo’, it is makrooh for him to do
wudoo’ again. Is this correct?

Praise be to Allaah.

Doing istinjaa’ after breaking wind is disliked because it
is extreme, but if a person passes wind after making wudoo’, this invalidates his
wudoo’, according to the consensus of the Muslim scholars. Washing the private parts
is not called wudoo’; it is called istinjaa’ if water is used and istijmaar
if stones or similar materials are used.
