The ruling on leading prayer for one who feels drops of urine coming out after cleaning oneself

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: If a person feels that there are drops of urine after cleaning himself, does he lead the people in prayer?

Answer:
This differs depending on whether it is a case of obsessive doubts and lack of certainty, in which case one should not pay attention to it. However, if he is certain that something has come out of him, his ablution is broken, so he must clean himself and wash whatever was affected, and he must repeat the ablution. As for if the matter is merely doubt, he should not pay attention to it after being certain of his purity. For this reason, they said: certainty is not removed by doubt. This is a rule. Certainty is not removed by doubt. This is taken from the saying of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) when he was asked about a man who is unsure whether something came out of him or not. He said:
He should not return (from prayer) unless he hears a sound or perceives a smell (of passing wind).لا ينصرف حتى يسمع صوتا أو يجد ريحا
Sahih Muslim 361
. Meaning, he should be certain. Certainty is not removed by doubt, and praise be to Allah. And obsessive doubts should not be paid attention to.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
