What is the ruling regarding my prayer if I do not change my clothes that have been stained with some urine, knowing that washing them is difficult for me? And what is the ruling regarding the pus that comes out after every urination? Is there any legal facilitation for me due to my suffering from exhaustion and fatigue?
A group of scholars has held the view of pardoning minor impurities such as a drop of urine or pus, if it is difficult to guard against them. This includes the Hanafis, who believe in pardoning an amount equivalent to or less than a dirham coin. Some scholars, like the Malikis, have gone further, pardoning whatever is difficult to guard against, even if it is considerable, such as persistent urinary leakage ( سلس ). Accordingly, if urine or pus gets on clothing and it is difficult to guard against it, and changing or washing the garment is arduous, there is no harm in praying in it, based on the Almighty's saying: "And He has not placed upon you in religion any difficulty."
