The ruling on the ablution of one who has incontinence of urine

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, how does one who has incontinence of urine act? Does he perform istinja' (cleaning oneself after relieving oneself) for every prayer?

Answer:
The first sunnah (recommended practice) is divided into two types: intermittent incontinence and continuous incontinence. As for intermittent incontinence, if he wants to pray and urine has come out of him, he performs istinja', performs wudu' (the ablution for prayer), and prays. But if no urine has come out of him and he is still in a state of taharah (ritual purity), he prays. This is for the intermittent type. As for the continuous type, which is always causing impurity, he does not perform wudu' until he wants to pray. When it is time for prayer, he performs istinja', places something to prevent the leakage of urine, then performs wudu' and prays, just like a person with a pressing need. When the time for the next prayer comes, he does the same: he performs istinja', protects himself, performs wudu', and prays, and so on with every prayer.
Yes, because his prayer is a prayer of dire necessity. Even if urine comes out of him while he is praying, his prayer is valid, because he cannot do more than that. And it is more expansive to say, "Fear Allah as much as you are able." Yes.
