The ruling on the prayer of a patient with a urinary catheter

Question : This questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, what is the ruling on the prayer of a patient who has a urinary catheter, knowing that the urine exits through this catheter from inside the neck of the urinary bladder, that is, at the point where a person controls urination, to the outside, in one or two minutes at most. This exit is continuous at all times, including the time of prayer, meaning that this catheter is permanent in the urinary tract and continuous, and it is not possible for the patient to control it?

Answer : Yes, the reality is that this contains terms that most of the people present now do not understand. A catheter, what does that mean? The neck of the bladder, what does the neck of the bladder mean? The reality of the matter is that a patient may need to have his urine extracted, so a tube is inserted that reaches the mouth of the bladder, which is where the urine collects, and the urine then exits without the patient’s will. We say in answer to this that if a patient has such a condition, what exits during the prayer does not harm him. He performs the ritual purification, washes what has been affected, and prays, and there is no blame on him. However, he does not perform the ablution for the prayer until after the time has entered, because this is like the blood of a woman with irregular non-menstrual bleeding, or incontinence of urine, and in these cases, the ritual purity is not valid until after the time has entered.
There is no difference between whether this procedure is for extracting urine or another procedure used for extracting feces. The ruling is the same for both. Yes.
