A Clean Body During Prayer
Question
It is written in the Shulchan Aruch that if a person has fecal matter at the anus, he is forbidden to recite Kriat Shema if it is visible when he is sitting.
I wanted to ask: what is the precise definition of “visible when he is sitting,” and how can one know this?

Answer
Shalom and blessings.
When a person cleans himself with paper while he is sitting, and his body is clean, then it is clear that there is no visible fecal matter there.
