The ruling on entering the place of relief while holding back urination

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Entering the place of relief when one feels a mild urge and is able to endure it for a longer time

Answer:
as to its ruling. This is all for a person who wants to relieve himself. It is not permissible to enter while holding back one of the two excretions, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade it, forbidding entering the prayer while holding back the urge to urinate or defecate. However, if this is not during prayer and it does not harm him, and this matter does not harm him, then there is nothing wrong with it. He knows his own state best.
