Question
While on a bus, his son soiled his diaper, and only when you get closer do you smell the bad odor. Can one pray there?
Answer
Permitted.
Source
Since there is a dispute among the early authorities whether one must distance four cubits from the place where the smell dissipates, one may pray there in a pressing situation. Being on a bus and wanting to pray is considered a pressing situation.
