Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: He is sick and has diabetes, and sometimes he urinates on himself without being able to prevent it. What is the ruling on that, and how does he purify himself?

Answer:
If the urination is constant with him, this is a permanent state of ritual impurity. However, he performs wudu' when he wants to pray and prays. Even if urine comes out of him, as long as this is constant with him and he urinates without control, he prays according to his ability. He performs wudu' when he wants to pray and prays. If urine comes out of him, his prayer is valid. Allah the Exalted said:
So fear Allah as much as you are ableفَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ مَا اسْتَطَعْتُمْ
[At-Taghabun 64:16]
Yes.
