Praying While Urged by the Need to Relieve Oneself and in the Presence of Food
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
And before you is what I have seen: that prayer does not come first.
Answer:
It is disliked (makruh) for a person to pray while he is straining to urinate or is troubled by the need to defecate. There is no prayer while he is struggling against the two impurities, urine and feces, because that distracts him from his prayer. Nor should he pray in the presence of food until he has eaten enough to settle his throat, because that disturbs his prayer.
