Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: Sometimes I pray while I am urged to defecate because I suffer from urinary incontinence. He says: Because if I urinate, drops of urine continue to come out with me. Is my action correct, and is my prayer while I am urged to defecate valid?
Answer:
No, praying while you are urged to defecate is absolutely prohibited, whether you have incontinence or not. So do not pray while you are urged to defecate. Urinate so that you are relieved of it, then perform wudu' and pray the prayer of a healthy person if you are healthy, or the prayer of one who has urinary incontinence if you are afflicted with urinary incontinence. Yes.
