Question

Due to having colorectal cancer, my rectum and anus was removed and I have a permanent bag. However there is a procedure that I do everyday whereby I clean out my colon and then I am free of any najis for the next 24 hours. However I have no control of passing wind but I am aware when I do pass wind. Am I still classified as a mazoor?

Answer

When you don't have control over your wind and it comes out all the time then you be ma`zoor for the wind.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
