Is it obligatory for a person suffering from urinary incontinence to wear something during prayer?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A man who is approaching eighty years of age says, may Allah reward you with good, that he has urinary urgency. Is he required to wear something to prevent the discharge?

Answer:
Yes, when the time for prayer comes, he cleans himself, washes his private parts, and places something on them to prevent leakage, then he prays in that state. Praise be to Allah,
Allah does not charge a soul except [with that within] its capacityلَا يُكَلِّفُ اللَّهُ نَفْسًا إِلَّا وُسْعَهَا
[Al-Baqarah 2:286]
as long as the urine continues to come out constantly and without his control, this is his permanent state of ritual impurity. Yes.
