'''Furiten''' {{kana|振聴}} is a restriction applied to winning hands.  The player loses the ability to declare [[ron]] because of winning tile in discards. The hand in [[Tenpai|tenpai]] is furiten if any of that player's winning tiles are present in one's own discard pile which includes [[Naki|called tiles]], or another player's discard pile during a turn or after its own riichi.  Furiten hands are still winnable via [[tsumo|self-draw]].  A call of ron while furiten is penalized by [[chombo]], though computer games are programmed to prevent the player from declaring such a win.
'''Furiten''' {{kana|振聴}} is a restriction applied to winning hands.  The player loses the ability to declare [[ron]] because of at least one winning tile in the discards. The hand in [[Tenpai|tenpai]] is furiten if any of that player's winning tiles are present in one's own discard pile which includes [[Naki|called tiles]], or another player's discard pile during a turn or after its own riichi.  Furiten hands are still winnable via [[tsumo|self-draw]].  A call of ron while furiten is penalized by [[chombo]], though computer games are programmed to prevent the player from declaring such a win.


In all cases, the furiten rule requires a player to be aware of all of their [[machi|tile waits]]. Furiten applies to all waiting tiles, even that to a [[Kokushi|thirteen sided kokushi musou]]. If a player is [[tenpai]] but does not realize all of their possible waits, then the lack of awareness may lead to an illegal win. This is especially true of a player who has called [[riichi]] and end up passing on a winning tile.

A player in tenpai is in furiten in any of the following scenarios:
A hand in tenpai is in furiten in any of the following scenarios:


* They have discarded, at any point in the hand, one of their winning tiles.
* At least one winning tile is in one's own discard pile.
* They are not in [[riichi]]; since their last turn, another player either discarded or made a [[shouminkan]] of one of their winning tiles; and they did not call ron on that tile.
* The hand is declared [[riichi]] and a winning tile is not claimed.
* They are in riichi; since they declared riichi, another player either discarded or made a [[shouminkan]] of one of their winning tiles; and they did not call ron on that tile.


When evaluating furiten, [[yaku]] are not taken into account. A player may find themselves in a situation where they are forced to discard or pass on a tile that does not give them a yaku, but would otherwise have completed their hand. This will lead to furiten.
While in furiten, the hand is unable to call ron upon a discard.  However, it is still winnable via self-draw, assuming the hand has valid yaku.
 
A player who is in furiten cannot call ron, although they can still call tsumo or make any other legal play.
