Performing salaah with the urge of relieving oneself

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftionline.co.za

Q: I am taking a class that goes from 5:30 pm to 8:30 pm. Hence it covers asr and maghrib prayers. The class is located far away from where I live. In order to maintain purity (wudhu) for both prayers (there is no cleaning facility at the class location) I used to hold myself not to urine during the entire 3 hour session. Hence for both prayers, especially for the maghrib prayer, I am exerting a huge effort not to let anything come out during the prayer (3 hours are very long). Is my prayer valid?

In addition, even though I tried my best, I cannot guarantee that my pants is 100% clean when I start praying as it is possible that some urine come out while I was in the classroom (that is outside the prayer, before it starts). Does this possible impurity affect my prayer? I almost did my best but I really don’t know if my prayers are valid.

Bismillaah

A: You may break your wudhu if you need to, and perform the namaaz in the very environment that you are in.

No.

And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

اليقين لا يزول بالشك (الأشباه والنظائر 1/183)

شك في نجاسة ماء أو ثوب أو طلاق أو عتق لم يعتبر وتمامه في الأشباه (الدر المختار 1/151)

قال العلامة ابن عابدين – رحمه الله -: قوله ( ولو شك الخ ) في التاترخانية من شك في إنائه أو ثوبه أو بدنه أصابته نجاسة أو لا فهو طاهر ما لم يستيقن (رد المحتار 1/151)
