The ruling on the discharge of drops of urine after istinja' (cleaning oneself after relieving oneself)

Question : The questioner says: I am a young man who suffers from the discharge of one or two drops of urine after finishing urination. When I clean myself, I feel a drop or two coming out on the head of the penis, so I proceed to clean it with difficulty, washing it multiple times for about a third of an hour. Do I suffice with washing it the first time? Do I suffice with washing it the first time? Is that sufficient? And if I do that, do I fall under the hadith of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) regarding the one who does not purify himself from his urine?

Answer : The answer: I ask Allah the Exalted to cure our brother from this illness and to cure everyone who is afflicted with something similar, for it is common among people, as questions about it occur frequently. Indeed, some people, after urinating and then performing istinja' or istijmar (cleaning with dry material), have drops discharge from their penis afterward. What I advise such people to do is go to doctors for treatment, for every disease has a cure, every disease has a cure, and perhaps Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) will facilitate healing for them. However, if that is not the case, then this discharge does not fall outside of two conditions. The first is that it is continuous, in which case it has the ruling of incontinence (salsal). If a person purifies himself, performs wudu' (the ablution for prayer), and prays, it does not harm him even if something comes out of him, because this is in the category of incontinence that cannot be gotten rid of. And Allah the Exalted said: As for the second condition, it is that this discharge does not come out constantly, but rather it comes out sometimes and stops. In such a case, we tell him to wait until it stops, and then perform wudu' afterward, after purifying himself, because this is not incontinence; it is only a temporary thing. The scholars have mentioned that if incontinence stops for a period of time that is sufficient for prayer and purification, then it is obligatory for him to delay his purification and prayer until that time, in order to pray with valid purification.
