Problem with urination and prayer

12-12-2001 | IslamWeb

Question:

I want to know more about the Fatwa I received from you wish is about the loss of urine that I have after every urination during about 15 minutes and the fact that I delay the prayer about a half hour and the Fatwa says that I can do Wudu only one time and do the prayer and after that drops of urine do not nullify my Wudu and my clothes do not become impure. I want to know if there is a limit time, for example if the loss was only for about 5 or 10 minutes after urination and if I don't lose urine in any other situation will, the Fatwa be the same or not? If not, what must I do? Please help me. Thank you very much.

Answer:

Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the World; and blessings and peace be upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon all his Family and Companions.
The previous Fatwa sent to you by e-mail deals with the situation of the one who has the problem of incontinence of urine but your case is not so therefore, the same Fatwa does not apply to you.
As for your present situation we inform you that you should change your clothes or clean them from urine and then perform prayer after making Wudu (ablution) as any normal person.
For the condition you now describe, we advise the following:
1) Notice the time of each scheduled congregational prayer.
2) Plan to urinate before each prayer, if necessary, to allow enough time for any later drops to occur, to clean, or change your clothes, and then
3) Make ablution and
4) Join the congregational prayer on time.
We ask Allah to cure you from this problem.
Allah knows best.
