What is the precise and clear interpretation of the phrase: "If it accompanies him all the time, or most of it, or half of it, and the detailed explanation of this according to them is that incontinence does not invalidate if it accompanies half or more of the prayer times, and the prayer times are from Zawāl (midday) until the sunrise of the following day" in the Maliki school of thought, regarding the issue of incontinence?

Maliki jurists hold that a continuous discharge (salas) invalidates ablution if it is present for most of the time. However, it does not invalidate ablution if it is present all the time, or for the majority of the time, or for half of the time. Here, "continuous discharge" includes involuntary excretions such as urine and prostatic fluid (madhi). Jurists differed concerning the four types of continuous discharge, regarding what necessitates ablution, what is recommended, or what has two differing opinions. They also differed on whether the duration of persistence is considered only during prayer times or throughout the entire day, with a preference for considering it during the time of the obligatory prayer. This is because the benefit of the differing opinions on the ruling of invalidation becomes apparent when the continuous discharge is persistent for a specific time.
