Question:
Is it permissible for one who is excused, such as one who has urinary incontinence or something else? Is it permissible for him to perform wudu before the time of prayer enters, even if only by a few minutes, in order to catch the opening takbir and the first rak'ah in the mosque with the congregation, especially if the mosque is far from his home and he cannot guarantee that there will be water in the mosque for him to perform wudu with?
Answer:
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Praise be to Allah, and may peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah. To proceed: As is well known, the one who suffers from incontinence, and everyone who has a permanent, continuous state of ritual impurity, prays according to his condition. Allah the Exalted said:[At-Taghabun 64:16] He performs wudu' when he first cleanses himself and purifies the area, then places something on his penis to prevent the leakage of urine, then performs wudu' and prays immediately. If anything comes out of him during that time, it is excused.
Because of the saying of Allah the Exalted:[At-Taghabun 64:16]. He performs wudu when he intends to pray, and a short interval does not harm, just as if he intends to go to the mosque and has taken what is necessary so that nothing comes out of him in the mosque, then a short interval does not harm, if Allah wills. But he must adhere to the timing, such that only the necessary amount of time passes after his wudu, then he prays the prayer. Yes.
