Does it necessitate daily ghusl for one who suffers from nocturnal enuresis (bedwetting), and is he considered among those with excuses, and do Jinn have a connection to his illness?

If involuntary urination occurs during sleep, the areas affected by urine and the clothes must be washed before prayer, and daily is not required. This is not considered incontinence unless it is continuous during prayer times such that there is no time left for purification and prayer. If that is the case, then it is considered incontinence and has its own rulings. Ghusl is not required due to incontinence; rather, only the impure area is washed. There is nothing that connects this illness to jinn.
