What is the correct course of action for a person in a state of major ritual impurity (junub) who suffers from continuous urinary incontinence for half an hour after urinating, if there are only a few minutes left before the time for the Asr prayer begins? Should he perform ghusl and pray immediately despite the incontinence, or is he permitted to delay combining the two prayers?

A person who is in a state of major ritual impurity (junub) and suffers from urinary incontinence should perform ghusl (ritual bath), and their state of ritual purity will be valid. The discharge of urine after ghusl does not harm their purity. If the urinary incontinence stops, they should perform wudu (ablution) and pray with complete purity. If the urinary discharge continues, they should wash the impure area, protect themselves from the urine, then perform wudu and pray. The discharge of urine during wudu or prayer will not harm them, and they are permitted to combine two prayers.
