What is the ruling on involuntary urine drops that exit after urinating? And is it sufficient to wash the organ and perform ablution without changing clothes, given the presence of obsessive-compulsive disorder regarding purity? And is it necessary to prolong the recitation in silent prayers, such as "al-dhaalleen" (the astray)? And is it permissible to connect verses in silent prayers?
Regarding urine drops: The most cautious approach is to act according to the opinion of the majority concerning their purification. However, according to the Malikis, it is permissible not to purify them.
Regarding obsessive doubts (waswasah): The cure for them is to ignore them and not pay attention to them. Do not rule something as impure unless you are certain, and have a good opinion of your Lord.
Regarding lengthening (madd) in recitation: This is a recommended tajweed rule, and performing it is good. The prayer is not invalidated by omitting it.
Regarding connecting verses to one another: This is permissible in both silent and audible prayers, even if it is contrary to the Sunnah.
