The passage of urine droplets after istinja' (cleaning oneself after relieving oneself)

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: If I am unable to clean myself from urine due to an illness, where he says that he urinates, and when he stands up and goes for about fifteen minutes, he feels droplets coming out of him. He says: Sometimes I place napkins as a barrier, and that has been difficult for me. So, do I apply the principle that hardship brings ease?

Answer:
First, this may be a case of waswas (whispers of Satan). It may be imagined to you that something is coming out of you when nothing is coming out. Satan wants to confuse you and make things difficult for you. So, be certain. Second, if you are certain that something has come out of you, then if this is continuous, it is a permanent state of ritual impurity. You must perform istinja' when you want to pray. You clean yourself, place a barrier over the penis, perform wudu' (the ablution for prayer), and pray. However, if it is not a permanent condition but only occurs sometimes, then istinja' is required. Yes.
