Saying salaam before the imaam in cases of urgent need
Dear Brothers & Sisters,As-Salaamu-Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh. (May Allah's Peace, Mercy and Blessings be upon all of you)
One of our brothers/sisters has asked this question:
If a person who is praying behind the imaam needs desperately to urinate or pass wind, and he is in the final Tashahhud, will his prayer still be valid if he says salaam before the imaam, after doing all the necessary parts or “pillars” of the prayer?

Answer:
Praise be to Allaah.
We put this question to Shaykh Muhammad ibn Saalih al-‘Uthaymeen, may Allaah preserve him, who replied as follows:
Yes, his prayer will still be valid, because he has an excuse. And Allaah knows best.
Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to Allah's Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only Source of Strength.
