Is İt Permissible To Establish Prayer When One Needs To Use Toilet?
Is it permissible to establish prayer when one needs to use toilet?
Prayer needs to be established in khushu and with the consciousness of standing before Allah. Therefore, it is of vital importance to eliminate the conditions that will distract a person in prayer as much as possible. For example, if the prayer time is not about to end, it is not permissible for a hungry person to establish prayer when his meal is ready. As the need to use toilet will also distract a person and prevent him from being in khushu, it is makruh to establish prayer in this state. The Prophet Muhammad (saw) said that the prayer of a person who starts establishing prayer when he needs to urinate or when the meal is ready will not be honored completely (Muslim, Masajid, 67).
