A tenpai player who has not declared riichi may also ignore a winning tile.
A tenpai player who has not declared riichi may also ignore a winning tile. In some plays, this may be a valid option in order to achieve a higher scoring hand or to target a specific player.  By declining a call for ron, the player then becomes temporarily furiten until the next own discard. Some rules additionally cancel temporary furiten on any [[naki|tile call]] by any player.

The furiten rule does not consider [[yaku]]. Sometimes, a hand can be completed with several tiles, but only some of them provide a yaku, others would produce a yakuless hand. If a yakuless tile appears, it must be ignored, because a winning hand must contain a yaku. The player must remain temporarily furiten.
