Is it permissible to follow the fatwa that states there is no need to pay attention to urine drops that exit after urinating, performing ablution, and praying, without changing clothes, due to suffering from continuous and unceasing dripping, the inability to determine a fixed time for it to stop, and the difficulty of performing prayers on time outside the home?

If drops of urine are continuously discharged, you are afflicted with incontinence ( سلس ). You must perform (cleansing) and wudu (ablution) for every prayer after its time has begun. What exits from you thereafter does not harm your prayer, and your prayer is valid. The Malikis hold that the ablution of a person with incontinence is not invalidated by the discharge of incontinence, and they excuse the impurity resulting from it.
