Question:
If an individual flatulated before the Amidah and then again after the Amida and when he went to wipe that area noticed that it was brown (on the paper with which he wiped himself). Does he have to repeat the Amida (Shemonah Esrah)?
Answer:
Hello,
You do not have to repeat Shemona Esrai since it is only a very small amount and a safek (a case of doubt) in a derabbanan.
All the best

In addition, a single (i.e. not all 3 in a day) Shemona Esrai is Mi’derabbanan.
