Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Shaykh, may Allah reward you, some patients have a drop of urine remaining in the urethra, and it does not come out except after a time that is not fixed.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : It may come out immediately, or after ten minutes, or more.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : So what should he do if he wants to perform wudu in preparation for prayer?
The Shaykh : If I were certain that it was at the tip of the penis, for example, it would be easy for a person to squeeze it until it comes out. But it may be in the bladder neck, or in the bladder itself. In that case, nothing is required of him except that he should ask Allah the Exalted for healing from this, and use medications. If he knows from experience that it comes out when he walks a few steps, let him do so, and let that be the means.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : It may come out immediately, or after ten minutes, or more.
