What is the ruling on spitting during prayer unintentionally?
If drops of urine are unintentionally released during prayer, the prayer and ablution (wudu') become invalid. Whoever experiences this must exit the prayer, wash away the impurity, perform ablution, and then repeat the prayer. This ruling applies whether the discharge was intentional or unintentional, unless it is frequent and reaches the level of urinary incontinence ( سلس البول), in which case it has a different ruling detailed in Fatwa no. 97134.
