A few drops of urine come out after urination for five minutes; is it permissible to pray after performing wudu' half an hour later?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner asks: I am afflicted by the fact that drops come out of me after urination, may Allah protect you, for a period of five minutes. So, if I perform wudu' after half an hour and am certain that the urination has stopped, and I prayed Maghrib, is it permissible for me to pray 'Isha' with the first wudu', or is it necessary to repeat the wudu'?

Answer:
This has two cases. The first case is that what happens to him is from the category of waswas (whispers of Satan), and otherwise nothing comes out of him, but Satan whispers to him that something has come out of him. He should not pay attention to it; he should seek refuge in Allah from Satan, and certainty is not removed by doubt. If he is certain that he is in a state of wudu' with certainty, and then doubt occurs to him after the wudu' whether something came out of him or not, he should not pay attention to it. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
When he was asked aboutلما سئل عن
Does the man who feels something or finds something in his belly leave the prayer? He said: No, he does not leave until he hears a sound or finds a gas, meaning until he finds the sign indicating the reality. As for mere imagination, certainty is not removed by doubt. This is the aspect.
As for the second part, which is that urine actually comes out of him, he should not hasten in performing wudu' until his penis dries, then he should perform istinja' (cleaning) and wudu' and pray. And if he remains in his state of purity and nothing comes out of him, he prays with his wudu' as much as he wishes of obligatory and voluntary prayers. Yes.
