The Ruling on a Person Suffering from Urinary Incontinence Leading the Prayer

Question:
From the Arab Republic of Egypt, Minya Governorate, the listener: (A. S. M.) sent a question saying: I am afflicted with urinary incontinence. Is it permissible for me to lead people in prayer?

Answer:
You should not lead people in prayer; because a group of scholars have pointed this out; because your state of ritual impurity is permanent, so it is better for you not to lead people, but to pray as a follower, and to perform ablution for every prayer time. For every prayer time, you perform ablution, just like a woman with irregular non-menstrual bleeding. You must perform ablution for the time of each prayer, and pray within that time, and recite within that time, and touch the mushaf until the time ends; because this ritual purity is a purity of dire necessity.
So you pray with the imam, and you do not lead as an imam. This is the most cautious course, and it involves adopting what the scholars said. Yes.
