The ruling on praying while holding in one's needs, with tayammum
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : If someone were to say: A man is in a state of wudu', and he is holding in his urine, or his stool, or his wind, but if he were to relieve himself, he would have no water with which to perform wudu'. So do we say: Relieve yourself and perform tayammum for the prayer, or do we say: Pray while holding in your needs?
Answer : We say the first: Relieve yourself and perform tayammum, and do not pray while holding in your needs. This is because prayer with tayammum is not disliked by scholarly consensus. Praying while holding in one's needs is prohibited and disliked, and some scholars have forbidden it, stating that the prayer is not valid while holding in one's needs, based on the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him):Sahih Muslim 560a

the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say: No prayer can be (rightly said) when the food is there (before the worshipper), or when he is prompted by the call of nature.
