Entering the Prayer While Holding in Urine
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the ruling on entering the prayer when one feels a slight urge to urinate, and is able to hold it in for a longer period?
The Shaykh:
This applies to a person who wants to pray; it is not permissible for him to enter the prayer while holding in either urine or stool, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade that. He forbade entering the prayer while holding in urine or stool, as narrated by Abu al-Aqib. However, if this is outside of prayer and does not harm him, there is nothing wrong with it; he knows his own condition best.
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, one may need to do this. A person may be in a place where it is not easy to relieve himself or urinate, so he holds it in for a short time until it becomes easy. Yes.
