The Ruling on Praying with Involuntary Urination
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah increase you in His bounty. This person says: I am a young man, and when I perform wudu' (ablution) and go to pray, drops of urine come out of my private part. This condition has been continuing constantly for days. This is called involuntary urination (salsal al-bawl). Does my prayer count as valid or not? And if it is not valid, and after recovery, if Allah wills, do I have to pay an expiation? Please advise us. May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
You must not rush when cleaning yourself after relieving yourself. If you wish to urinate, do not rush until the urine has stopped, then clean yourself. Do not rush, and the impurity will be removed without rushing. However, if it is a constant incontinence for which there is no remedy, or it is the predominant condition, then you perform ablution after the time for prayer enters. Once the time enters, you perform ablution, and whatever comes out after that does not harm you until the next time. Each time has its own ablution. This is if this condition predominates over you. But if it only happens sometimes, you must not rush when cleaning yourself; do not rush until it stops, then clean yourself.
