The question

What is the ruling on the prayer of one who prays while slightly resisting the urge to urinate, in a way that does not affect his prayer? Is it permissible for him to repeat it if it was disliked (makruh)? What should he do if this recurs? Is it permissible to delay the prayer until reaching home, even if its time expires, if the urge to urinate is severe?

The answer

If the urge to relieve oneself is not strong, then it is better to pray at the beginning of the prayer time. However, if it causes disturbance to the worshipper, then it is better to relieve oneself before praying, as long as the prayer time does not expire. But if one fears that the prayer time will expire, then they should pray even with a mild urge to relieve oneself. A strong urge that prevents one from performing the pillars of prayer invalidates the prayer, and in this case, one must relieve themselves first and then pray.
