Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, I am a man who sometimes experiences urinary incontinence every day. So, whenever the drops of urine come out, do I have to perform wudu' again?
Answer:
There is a distinction here regarding incontinence and irregular bleeding. If it is constant and continuous, he performs wudu' for the prayer; he performs wudu' for the prayer and prays, even if urine comes out of him. Allah the Exalted said:[At-Taghabun 64:16] As for if the urine comes to him sometimes and stops sometimes, then if he sees the urine and is certain that the urine has come out, he is required to perform wudu', even if he is in prayer. Because this is not constant; rather, it is something that occurs occasionally. So, if he is certain that the urine has come out, he performs wudu', whether he is in prayer or outside of prayer, because this is not constant, but rather it is something that occurs occasionally. Yes.
