How can I combine prayers at their prescribed times when I suffer from incontinence (urine, madhi, and wadi), which causes me embarrassment and makes me miss congregational prayers and lectures, knowing that I am diligent in maintaining purity and performing ablution, but I find it difficult to determine the times when the incontinence stops? So, what is the solution?

Anxiety and sorrow are ailments that are cured by sincere repentance and turning to Allah Almighty. As for obsessive thoughts (waswasa), their cure is to completely ignore them, both in general and in detail, because they increase by paying attention to them. Regarding istinja (cleaning oneself after relieving oneself), after gently stroking and shaking the penis, what is required is to be reasonably sure that the flow of urine has stopped, without exaggeration or chasing illusions and doubts. It is recommended to sprinkle water on the private parts and trousers after istinja to ward off obsessive thoughts.
