Is it permissible to adopt the Maliki school of thought regarding the rulings on urinary incontinence, and is this considered following prohibited dispensations, with a request for a detailed explanation of Imam Malik's opinion and Sheikh Muhammad ibn Uthaymeen's opinion?
Among the rules of Fiqh are "harm is to be removed" and "hardship brings ease." Jurists have differed on the obligation for a person afflicted with سلس (incontinence) to re-bandage and protect himself for every prayer. The Hanbalis preferred that it is not obligatory. They also differed on the ruling regarding the ablution (وضوء) of a person with سلس for the subsequent time if nothing has been discharged and no other nullifier has occurred. Sheikh Al-Uthaymeen preferred that the first ablution is sufficient, and this removes hardship and difficulty. There is no harm in acting upon the opinion of the Malikis when there is a need and hardship.
