Wudu for every prayer for one who has incontinence

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is it obligatory for one who has incontinence to perform wudu for every prayer, even if the incontinence only occurs once or twice a week?

Answer:
If there is no incontinence, meaning it does not come to him except for a short time and then stops, that is not incontinence. Incontinence is what is constant, a constant state of impurity that does not stop. This person performs wudu for every prayer. When he wants to pray, he performs wudu, cleans himself, and places something on the private part to prevent leakage. He performs wudu and prays according to his condition. Even if urine comes out, it does not invalidate the prayer in this case.
His saying, the Exalted:
So fear Allah as much as you are ableفَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ مَا اسْتَطَعْتُمْ
[At-Taghabun 64:16]
As for the one who does not experience urination except occasionally, he must refrain from praying until the urge to urinate subsides, provided the time for prayer has not passed. If the time passes, he should perform wudu' and pray in whatever state he is in, without letting the prayer go out of its time. Yes.

May Allah bless you. Honorable Shaykh
