Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : O Shaykh, when I finish my ablution and enter into prayer, at the bowing and prostration, I feel something, for example, a drop of urine ... coming out. What should be done? And what is incontinence of urine?
The Shaykh : Yes, he says that if he performs ablution and enters into prayer and bows or prostrates, he feels something coming out from the front from the penis. If you are certain, like the sun, your ablution is invalidated and you must leave, wash what happened from the urine, then repeat the ablution. As for if it is, meaning, a strong suspicion, meaning ninety percent that this happened, do not pay attention to it. Eighty percent? Answer?
The questioner : The same thing.
The Shaykh : And what is the same thing? Do you pay attention to it or not?
The questioner : No.
The Shaykh : Huh?
The questioner : No.
The Shaykh : Okay, fifty percent?
The questioner : ...
The Shaykh : It does not contradict, do not pay attention to it?
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : I think, and Allah knows best, that those who are afflicted with this have fifty percent certainty that something came out. If it is ninety percent or ninety-five percent, it does not affect [the prayer], so what is less than that is even more so. And what is the evidence so that you can be reassured? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was complained to that a man finds something in his prayer and doubts whether he has broken his state of purity or not? He said:Sahih Muslim 361 meaning until he is certain, meaning a certainty that is not delusion, so do not pay attention to this. Do not pay attention also if you are outside the prayer and you feel [something], do not go to check because you ... with movement something comes out with moving the penis to inspect, something happens, leave it. Clear? We ask Allah to heal our brothers from what He has afflicted them with. Yes ... do you have a question?
