Question

Hello Rabbi, if a person needs to relieve themselves while studying Torah, should they stop studying immediately?

Answer

Hello Rabbi,

If one estimates that they cannot hold themselves for an hour and a quarter, they should stop and relieve themselves.

However, out of respect for human dignity, it is permissible to wait.
