The Ruling on Praying While Holding Back a State of Ritual Impurity
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: A man suffering from colitis performed Hajj and was compelled to perform some of the rites while holding back wind, as it was difficult for him to renew his ablution. He also holds it back when performing the five daily prayers. He asks: Is there any obligation on him in this matter?
Answer:
By Allah, it is not permissible to enter into prayer while holding back a state of ritual impurity. One should relieve oneself of it, because it distracts from humility in prayer. So, one should relieve oneself of the impurity, perform ablution, and pray, even if he misses the congregational prayer. Yes.
