Is it required to change the diaper and wash the private parts (front and back) before the ablution (wudu’) of one who suffers from urinary incontinence and inability to control defecation, or should he perform ablution and pray in his current state, given that he is not safe from the occurrence of impurity after washing the area of impurity and changing the diaper?
If your wife's mother and your son suffer from urinary incontinence, they must wash the affected area and change or wash the diaper before performing ablution (Wudu') when the time for prayer begins, while taking precautions against the occurrence of the impurity as much as possible.
