The answer

The Maliki school of thought holds that it is not obligatory for a person with urinary incontinence ( سلس ) to perform ablution for every prayer, nor is it obligatory to purify the impurity that exits in this manner. There is no harm in acting upon this school of thought or following those who issue fatwas according to it, especially in cases of hardship.
