Cutting the prayer when one is overcome by the urge to relieve oneself

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, a man prayed while being overcome by the urge to relieve himself, then he decided to cut his prayer, so he did so.

Answer:
One does not cut his prayer unless the urge overpowers him and he fears that it will come out without his control; in that case, he cuts the prayer. As long as he is able to control it and complete the prayer, even if it is disliked for him to do so, he completes the prayer and does not cut it. Yes.
