The ruling on breaking the prayer when one needs to relieve oneself

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If a person feels the need to go to the restroom after he has entered the prayer, does he break it, O Shaykh?

Answer:
He does not break it, but he shortens it. He shortens it so that he can go to relieve himself and then enter the prayer with his mind free from distractions and concerns. Yes.
