What is the ruling on one who performs wudu' and then goes out to pray, but on the way feels the urge to urinate or pass gas, and finds no water in the mosque?

Question:
If I perform wudu' at my home and go to the mosque, and on the way I feel the urge to urinate or pass gas, and I want to perform wudu' again, but I find the restrooms closed because there is no water in them, so I pray with my previous wudu', what is the ruling on my prayer?

Answer:
Your prayer is valid as long as nothing has occurred from you that invalidates the wudu'. You only intended to invalidate the wudu' and then you changed your mind and prayed as you were. You remain in a state of purity because nothing has occurred that invalidates the wudu'. Merely the intention and purpose do not invalidate the wudu'; only the actual exit of the substance and the occurrence of the invalidator do so. As for mere intention, it does not invalidate the wudu'. However, it is disliked for a person to pray while struggling with one of the two excretions, urination or defecation, because this reduces his humility and disturbs him in his prayer. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Urination and defecation. This is a prohibition of dislike, but if he prays in this state, his prayer is valid despite the dislike. Yes.
