The question

What is the ruling on the prayer of one afflicted with urinary incontinence who feels urine coming out without any trace of it, and what if the urine has indeed come out? What are the reasons for seminal discharge without lust, and can it be removed by istinja' (washing after relieving oneself)? What is the ruling on prayer if semen is discharged without lust or urine comes out after one has relieved oneself during the prayer?

The answer

If you are certain that urine has exited, then you must wash the garment and repeat the prayer if you had not performed ablution afterwards. However, if it is merely a doubt, then there is nothing upon you. If semen exits without desire, it does not necessitate a ritual bath (ghusl), but rather necessitates ablution (wudu), and this can occur due to reasons such as illness or cold. To stop the emission of semen without desire, one can consult doctors. If you are certain that semen or urine exited during prayer, the prayer is invalidated. However, with doubt, nothing is required. It is advised to adhere to supplication and humility, and to consult a psychiatrist.
