Purity of the one afflicted with incontinence of urine

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, he says: What is the correct, Sharia-compliant method for one who is afflicted with incontinence of urine, may Allah honor you, regarding his wudu'?

Answer:
If he wants to pray, he should clean himself, place something on his penis to prevent the leakage of urine, then perform wudu' and pray immediately. Pray immediately. Even if urine comes out during the prayer, his prayer is valid, because he cannot do more than this. This is what is called incontinence of urine.
