The answer

If the urine stops for a time sufficient for purification (ablution) and prayer, then one must wait and pray within this time, while taking precautions, removing impurity, and performing (washing the private parts) before prayer. This is the view of the majority of scholars.

The Malikis, however, hold that whoever experiences their impurity for half or more of the prayer time is considered to have perpetual incontinence (sils), and is not obligated to renew their ablution or purify the impurity due to hardship. It is not permissible to combine two prayers, as that is specific to the one with perpetual incontinence.
