The Ruling on Praying While Experiencing the Urge to Urinate or Defecate
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, what is the criterion for a person who needs to urinate if he fears that the prayer time will be missed? Does he pray in this state?
Answer:
This is disliked. It is disliked to enter prayer while needing to urinate or while struggling with the two excretions, urine and feces. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Riyad as-Salihin 1753 [regarding] urine and feces, so one should relieve oneself, perform wudu, and enter prayer with a calm mind and soul. This is more conducive to humility and tranquility in prayer. Yes.

Answer:
This is disliked. It is disliked to enter prayer while needing to urinate or while struggling with the two excretions, urine and feces. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
No Salat (prayer) should be performed when the food has been served, nor should it be performed when a person is in need of relieving himself.
