The leading of prayer by one who feels drops of urine after cleaning oneself
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: If a person feels that there are drops of urine after cleaning himself, does he lead the people in prayer?
Answer:
This varies. If this is a case of obsessive doubts and lack of certainty, he should not pay attention to it. However, if he is certain that something has come out of him, his ablution is invalidated, so he must clean himself and wash what was affected, and he must repeat the ablution. As for if the matter is merely doubt, he should not pay attention to it after being certain of his purity. For this reason, they said: "Certainty is not removed by doubt." This is the rule: certainty is not removed by doubt, derived from the saying of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) when he was asked about a man who is unsure whether something came out of him or not. He said:Sahih Muslim 361 meaning he should be certain. Certainty is not removed by doubt. And praise be to Allah. Obsessive doubts should not be paid attention to.

May Allah reward you.

He should not return (from prayer) unless he hears a sound or perceives a smell (of passing wind).
