Question:
The below information is taken from a woman's halacha website. I need to know if this information also applies to a man. Is this the halacha for men too?
๐๐ป
If one began praying Amida when she had no need to relieve herself but a great need arose in the middle of her prayer, since she began praying in a permitted state, she may continue her prayer for as long as she can hold it in. Even if she knew ahead of time that she needs the bathroom, but she thought she could hold it in for 72 minutes, but when she started praying she suddenly felt that she could no longer control herself for 72 minutes, although le-khatฤฅila she should have relieved herself before praying, since she began praying with the thought that she would be able to wait, she may finish praying.
If her need to relieve herself is so urgent that she cannot wait any longer, she should go immediately. If the interruption in her prayer lasts long enough that in that time she could have prayed the full Amida prayer from beginning to end, she must start the Amida again. But if the interruption lasts less time, she continues from the berakha at which she stopped.
Answer:
Hello,
These halachos are taken from the Shulchan Aruch and Mishna Berura, and men and women are the same regarding this.
Best wishes
