Question:
Finally, we conclude this session with you, O Shaykh, with a question from our brother Abu Ibrahim. He asks: What is the criterion for a person who is holding back his excretions if he fears missing the prayer? Does he pray while in this state?
Answer:
No, it is not permissible for him to pray while he is suppressing the two impurities, urine or feces. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sunan Abi Dawud 89Sahih (Al-Albani) urine and feces. This is because it distracts him from humility and the presence of his heart in his prayer. So he should free himself from these distractions and enter the prayer in a state of tranquility. Yes.

Answer:
No, it is not permissible for him to pray while he is suppressing the two impurities, urine or feces. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
