How can a person suffering from urinary incontinence purify themselves for prayer, given that urine may continue to be discharged after istinja (washing after urinating), and would using water in this situation increase the spread of impurity?

The answer

The person suffering from سلس (incontinence) must wash the area of impurity before performing ablution (Wudu’) when the time for prayer begins. They should then bind it with a cloth and take precautions to the best of their ability. Istinja’ (cleaning oneself after urinating or defecating) involves purifying the exit point from urine after it has stopped or become light. After that, whatever exits does not matter. Water does not increase impurity; rather, it overcomes or lightens it.
