What is the ruling on the prayer of one from whom drops of urine exit after istinja (cleaning oneself after urinating) and starting wudu (ablution)?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
If the drops are not frequent, such that they cease for a duration sufficient for performing ablution (wudu') and prayer (salat), then the ablution is invalid, and one must cleanse oneself ('), wash whatever the drops have soiled, and repeat the ablution. However, if the discharge is continuous, such that it does not cease for a duration sufficient for performing ablution and prayer, then it falls under the ruling of سلس ( سلس البول - سلس الريح - سلس المذي - سلس الدم ).
