What is the ruling on the prayer of one who suffers from urinary incontinence that stops when forgotten and increases on Fridays, sometimes preventing him from performing the prayer?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Satan is keen on corrupting a Muslim's purity and prayer. Therefore, it is advised not to dwell on the feeling of residual urine, but rather to cut it off and ignore it. If you are certain that urine has splattered on your garment or body before prayer, you must purify the affected area and then perform the prayer. However, if urine is found after the prayer, and you are not certain that it was there before it, you do not need to repeat the prayer because the default assumption is purity.
