Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: What is the ruling on the prayer of a person whose urine does not stop, and he notices its effect? Okay. He asks: What is the ruling on the prayer of a person whose urine does not stop, and he notices its effect on his clothes after the prayer?
Answer:
The one with urinary incontinence who cannot control his urine is excused. He performs wudu' at the time of prayer; he does not perform wudu' before that. Rather, he performs wudu' when he intends to pray, and he prays immediately. Even if urine comes out of him, his prayer is valid, even if it gets on his clothes or his body, due to the saying of Allah the Exalted:[At-Taghabun 64:16] The saying of Allah the Exalted: [Al-Baqarah 2:286]. And Allah knows best, and may Allah send blessings and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and all his Companions.

فَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ مَا اسْتَطَعْتُمْAllah does not charge a soul except [with that within] its capacity
لَا يُكَلِّفُ اللَّهُ نَفْسًا إِلَّا وُسْعَهَا
