The ruling on prayer for one who suffers from incontinence of urine and its leakage
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says that he suffers from incontinence of urine, and he says that when he urinates, the leakage of urine continues with him for more than three hours. Sometimes I pray, he says, while I am holding it back in order to pray, and I am in a state of complete ritual purity. Is my action good, or should I relieve myself and then pray?
Answer:
Your action is not good; this is prohibited. One does not pray while holding back the two excretions, urine and feces. Urinate, and when the urine stops, perform istinja' (cleaning oneself after relieving oneself), place something on the penis, put a barrier on it, then perform wudu' (the ablution for prayer) and pray. Even if urine comes out of you while you are praying, you cannot do more than this. Allah the Exalted said:[At-Taghabun 64:16] Yes.

فَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ مَا اسْتَطَعْتُمْ
