Entering the place of relief while able to delay the need
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the ruling on entering the place of relief if one feels a slight urge, but is able to hold it for a longer period?
Answer:
There is nothing wrong with it, unless he intends to pray. It is not permissible to enter the prayer while struggling to pass one of the two excretions. This is because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade it. He forbade entering the prayer while struggling to pass urine or feces. However, if this is outside of prayer and it does not harm him, and this matter does not cause harm, then there is nothing wrong with it. He knows his own state best. A person may be in a place where it is not easy to relieve himself or urinate, so he holds it for a short time until it becomes easy.
