Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This person says: My brother is afflicted with urinary incontinence. When I told him to pray in the mosque, he said to me that one of the shaykhs in Riyadh, whom he asked, told him to pray at home. The question is: What is the legal ruling in this matter?
Answer:
If something comes out of him in the mosque and he fears that he will defile the place, he should pray in his home. But if he is able to contain it and nothing comes out of him, he should pray in the mosque. However, he should not perform wudu' except at the time of prayer. When he goes to pray, he performs wudu' and does not go long before the prayer; rather, he goes at the time of the iqamah, performs wudu', and goes. He places something on the exit to prevent the leakage of urine, no matter how unpleasant it is.
