Question:
Honorable Shaykh, I am a woman who has suffered from chronic intestinal inflammation for five years. The question is: when I begin the obligatory prayer, sometimes I am struck by severe pain in my stomach, and I want to go to the bathroom. Should I leave the prayer, go, and perform wudu' again? And what am I required to do in this situation?
Answer:
It is not permissible to break the prayer except out of dire necessity. If there is a dire necessity such that you cannot continue, there is no harm. However, if you are able to continue and complete the prayer, it is obligatory for you to complete it.
