The ruling on the prayer of a person suffering from urinary incontinence and changing clothes
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: I am suffering from bladder cancer. I hope you will clarify the validity of the prayer in such a case, and whether it is obligatory to change the clothes every time?
Answer:
The term *salf* means the inability to retain urine; it is always being discharged. When the time for prayer enters and he wants to pray, he performs *istinja'* (cleaning himself after relieving oneself), places something to protect his private parts, then performs *wudu'* (the ablution for prayer) and prays immediately. If some of it is discharged during the prayer, his prayer is valid. Regarding the saying of Allah the Exalted:[At-Taghabun 64:16] If urine gets on the clothes, does he change them or wash them? Yes, he washes them and does not change them? Yes.
