Is it permissible for someone suffering from urinary incontinence and prostatic fluid discharge to combine prayers or to perform one ablution for more than one prayer, to make it easier for them?
If you are afflicted with chronic pre-seminal fluid leakage that does not stop, you must perform ablution (wudu') after the time for prayer begins, and then pray as much as you wish with this ablution until the prayer time expires. The Malikis and Ibn Taymiyyah hold the view that ablution is not required for every prayer and that continuous discharge does not invalidate ablution. It is permissible to adopt this view in cases of hardship. The Hanbalis permit combining two prayers. As for urinary dripping, one must wait for it to stop, then perform ablution. It is obligatory to purify the body and clothes from any urine that has touched them, though the Malikis hold that in this situation, impurity is excused.
