Is it permissible for a follower to leave the prayer if he is struggling with one of the two excretions?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible for a follower to separate from his imam to relieve himself of one of the two excretions?

Answer:
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade praying while one is struggling with the two excretions, urine and feces. Therefore, one does not enter the prayer at all while struggling with the two excretions; rather, he goes, performs purification, and then comes to the prayer, even if he misses part of it, or even if he misses the congregational prayer, because he is excused. However, if we assume that he entered the prayer while in a state of purity, but then something happened to him that necessitated his exiting, something that requires him to hasten to leave, then this is the point of discussion.
