Is it permissible for a person suffering from urinary incontinence to pray in his home and not go to the mosque?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: My father has been suffering from blood clots in his legs for fourteen years. After seeing doctors, they prescribed him medication to prevent the clots from progressing, which causes urinary incontinence, leading him to use the restroom continuously. Since that time, he has not prayed in the mosque because of this medication. Is his action correct?

Answer:
Yes, if the urine keeps coming out of him continuously, he prays in his home. He performs wudu' (ablution) immediately and prays immediately, and his prayer is valid, if Allah wills. He does not go to the mosque, as he would soil the mosque. Yes.
