I am affected by waswaas (whispers from the Shaytaan) and I am trying
hard to avoid doubts that come to me regarding wudoo' and prayer.
But two days ago, when I was praying in the mosque, I suddenly noticed
a smell (of passing wind), even though I did not feel anything in my
stomach, and I did not feel that anything came out of me before I
noticed the smell.
I said: This is waswaas, and I completed my prayer. But after I had
prayed, I began to strongly doubt the validity of my prayer. Perhaps
there had been some movement in my stomach and I had forgot, or
perhaps it was gas, because that happens to me sometimes.
I still have my doubts until now.
Is my prayer valid, or should I make it up? Do I have to do anything,
because several days have passed since I offered that prayer?
Praise be to Allah
Your prayer is valid and you do not have to repeat it; do not worry
about the smell that you noticed so long as you did not feel anything
coming out of you. You should not pay attention to the waswaas that
comes to your mind and cast aside the doubts that cross your mind.
With regard to the hadeeth which says that a man complained to the
Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) that he felt
something during the prayer, and asked whether he should stop praying,
and he said: "No, unless you hear a sound or notice a smell" (narrated
by al-Bukhaari, 20546; Muslim, 361), this has to do with one who feels
something and is not sure whether it came out; this indicates that one
should not do something that is due to waswaas, because the certainty
of being in a state of purity cannot be affected by uncertainty or
doubt.
Shaykh Ibn Baaz (may Allah have mercy on him) said:
The believer should not pay attention to this waswaas, because this
will encourage the Shaytaan, and the Shaytaan is keen to spoil the
good deeds of the sons of Adam, such as prayer and so on. What he must
do is be aware of his tricks and whispers, put his trust in Allah, and
assume that whatever happens of waswaas is from the Shaytaan, so that
he will not pay any attention to it. Then if something comes out of
him and he is certain of it, not uncertain, he should clean himself
again (istinja') and repeat wudoo'. But so long as there is any
uncertainty, even if it is slight, then he should not pay attention to
that, and he should still believe that he is in a state of purity and
ward off the whispers of the Shaytaan.

And Allah knows best.

*- WHAT ISLAM SAYS -*
-
Islam is a religion of Mercy, Peace and Blessing. Its teachings emphasize kind hear tedness, help, sympathy, forgiveness, sacrifice, love and care.Qur’an, the Shari’ah and the life of our beloved Prophet (SAW) mirrors this attribute, and it should be reflected in the conduct of a Momin.Islam appreciates those who are kind to their fellow being,and dislikes them who are hard hearted, curt, and hypocrite.Recall that historical moment, when Prophet (SAW) entered Makkah as a conqueror. There was before him a multitude of surrendered enemies, former oppressors and persecutors, who had evicted the Muslims from their homes, deprived them of their belongings, humiliated and intimidated Prophet (SAW) hatched schemes for his murder and tortured and killed his companions. But Prophet (SAW) displayed his usual magnanimity, generosity, and kind heartedness by forgiving all of them and declaring general amnesty...Subhanallah. May Allah help us tailor our life according to the teachings of Islam. (Aameen)./-
