'''Furiten''' {{kana|振聴}} is a restriction applied to [[tenpai]] hands. While in furiten, the player loses the ability to declare a win on a player's [[ron|discard]] (ron). Any hand in a tenpai state has a set of possible tile(s) for winning.  Primarily, the hand is marked as furiten, if any tile in that set is in the player's own discard. This includes any [[Naki|called tiles]].  Other cases involving riichi and temporary furiten are also applicable.  Regardless, the hand can still win by [[tsumo|self-draw]] (tsumo) given valid [[yaku]].   
'''Furiten''' {{kana|振聴}} is a restriction applied to [[tenpai]] hands. While in furiten, the player loses the ability to declare a win on any player's [[ron|discard]] (ron). The most common form of furiten is with discards: if any tile the hand could have won off is in a player's discard pile, it is furiten. This includes any tiles [[naki|called by opponents]].  Other cases involving riichi and temporary furiten are also applicable.  Regardless, the hand can still win by [[tsumo|self-draw]] (tsumo) given valid [[yaku]].   


This rule is often used for [[defense]] purposes to determine [[Genbutsu|safe tiles]]. Tiles with the furiten rule can be inferred via [[suji]] and [[kabe]], though this may not be guaranteed barring the shape of players' hands.

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


* At least one winning tile is in one's own discard pile.
* At least one winning tile is in one's own discard pile. This applies even if the hand could not actually win off that tile (due to lacking yaku).
* The hand is declared [[riichi]] and the (first) winning tile is not claimed. This is known as permanent furiten.
* The hand is declared [[riichi]] and the (first) winning tile is not claimed. This is known as permanent furiten.
* The hand is not declared riichi, another player discards a tile, and the winning tile is not claimed (even if this does not provide yaku). Then the hand is in temporary furiten and cannot ron until the player has discarded.  
* The hand is not declared riichi, another player discards a tile, and the winning tile is not claimed, even if the hand could not actually win. Then the hand is in temporary furiten and cannot ron until the player has discarded.


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.

The most common case of furiten involves a player's own discard. If a winning tile is in a player's discard, then the hand is in furiten.

All of a player's discards can be checked at any time during play, by looking at their discard pools and the rotated tiles in other players' tile calls. This leads to the most basic strategy to avoid dealing into a player's hand: tiles they have already discarded are guaranteed safe against a ron call from that player.

Any player in tenpai has the option to ignore a winning tile. By declining a call for ron, the player then becomes temporarily furiten until their next discard. This is called '''temporary furiten''', as it expires shortly after it occurs. Although most of the time, it will apply to a discarded tile, it can also apply to a tile used to create a [[shouminkan]]. Temporary furiten cannot apply to a tile used to create an [[ankan]], as if a player can call ron on an ankan, then they have a single-sided [[kokushi musou]] wait (and even then, this is not permitted in [[Rule variations#Kokushi and chankan|all rulesets]]). If they decline a ron, then their hand is dead and cannot be completed.
Any player in tenpai has the option to ignore a winning tile. By declining a call for ron, the player then becomes temporarily furiten until their next discard. This is called '''temporary furiten''', as it expires shortly after it occurs. This applies to a discarded tile, as well as tiles used to create a [[shouminkan]]. [[Ankan]] are exempt: the only hand that can ron of an ankan is a single-sided [[kokushi musou]], and if ron happens to be skipped, the hand becomes impossible.


The primary purpose of the rule is to prevent a player from targeting a later player in the turn order. Once a player sees a tile discarded, they know that they can follow with the same tile and it will be safe.

While this is often a mistake to enter temporary furiten, done by a player who does not know their waits correctly or is not paying attention, it may be done deliberately in order to achieve a higher scoring hand or to target a specific player. This becomes much more common in [[orasu]], where a player may gain little benefit from winning a hand that does not [[gyakuten|let them pass another player]]. Temporary furiten can also be entered by a player who does not have a guaranteed yaku, as described above. This is much less devastating than drawing the [[yasume]] tile, however, because it is only temporary.
