Q: What is the ruling on a man
who suffers from continuous urinary incontinence? Should he perform Salah (Prayer) or rather wait until Allah cures him of this disease, then he can make up for the prayers he missed?
A:
All praise be to Allah Alone, and peace and blessings be upon His Messenger, and his family and Companions.
This man must offer Salah in his present condition. He should perform Istinja’ (cleansing the private parts with water after urination or defecation) and Wudu’ (ablution) when the prescribed time of every Salah begins. He should also put some sort of a piece of cloth on his penis so as to protect his clothes, body and Masjid (mosque) from being defiled by his urine.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
