===Not Needing to Go to the Bathroom=== | |||
# Before Shemona Esrei one should be sure that one doesn't need to go to the bathroom. Even if one could hold it in for 72 minutes he should still go before Shemona Esrei and it is forbidden to initially pray needing to go to the bathroom.<ref>Gemara Brachot 23a, Shulchan Aruch 92:1</ref> After the fact if he did pray when he needed to go to the bathroom, if he was able to hold it in for 72 minutes then it counts.<ref>Gemara Brachot 23a, Shulchan Aruch 92:1</ref> | |||
# If one needs to go to the bathroom before Shemona Esrei and if he goes he knows that he'll miss davening with a minyan he should nonetheless go to the bathroom and miss the minyan even if he would be able to hold it in for 72 minutes.<ref>Mishna Brurah 92:5, Yalkut Yosef 92:2</ref> | |||
# If one needs to go to the bathroom before Shemona Esrei and if he goes he knows that he'll miss the latest time to daven Shemona Esrei altogether if he can hold it in for 72 minutes he should do so and pray first.<ref>Mishna Brurah 92:5 writes that the Magen Avraham explains that if one can hold it in for 72 minutes and if one doesn't daven now he'll miss the time for that prayer altogether he can rely on the Rif that it is permitted initially to pray if he can hold it in for 72 minutes. Yalkut Yosef 92:1 agrees.</ref> | |||
