Salaah Whilst Resisting The Urge
DAILY FIQH
Question: What is the ruling with regards to performing Salaah whilst resisting the urge to urinate, defecate or pass wind?
Answer: It is not permissible for a person to start performing Salaah if he is resisting the urge to urinate, defecate or pass wind. It is narrated in a Hadith:
لا يحل لأحد يُؤْمِن بالله واليوم الأخر ان يصلي وهو حاقن حتى يتخخف (رواه ابو دَاوُدَ )
The Messenger Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam said; "It is not permissible to perform Salaah while resisting the urge (to urinate, defecate or pass wind) until one has fulfilled this need."
Be that as it may, if a person did perform Salaah in this state, the Salaah will be valid and the person does not have to repeat it. Thou, the Salaah will be considered to be Makrooh (deficient).

Responding To The Adhan
DAILY FIQH
Question: What is the ruling withregards to responding to the Adhan?
Answer: It is mustahab on the person who hears the adhaan to reply to it irrespective of whether he is a man or woman, in a state of purity or impurity.
Some ulama have even said that it is wajib. But the preferred opinion is that it is mustahab.
Replying to the adhaan means that the words which the mu'azzin says should be repeated. However, when replying to Hayya alas salaat and Hayya alal falaah, he should say La hawla wa la quwwata illa billahil aliyyil azeem.
For As-salaato khairun minan naum he should say Sadaqta wa bararta.
After the adhaan he should send salutations to Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and then read the following dua:
اللَّهُمَّ رَبَّ هذِهِ الدَّعوةِ التَّامَّةِ ، والصَّلاةِ الْقَائِمةِ، آت مُحَمَّداً الْوسِيلَةَ ، والْفَضَيِلَة، وابْعثْهُ مقَامًا محْمُوداً الَّذي وعَدْتَه إِنَّكَ لَا تُخْلِفُ الْمِيعَادَ
[Bahisti Zewar 138]
