Summary
Passing wind in a mosque is not forbidden, but it is better to avoid it. It is disliked (makruh) when many people are nearby or when worshippers would be disturbed by the smell. It is permissible in an area where nobody is present, since there is no disturbance.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Maksudnya : Tidak diharamkan perbuatan membuang angin dari dubur (kentut) di dalam masjid akan tetapi yang lebih utama adalah menjauhinya.
