Urinary incontinence ( سلس البول ) is its continuity such that it does not stop for a sufficient period for purification ( ) and prayer, and its owner is permitted to avail of the dispensations ( ). However, if the urine stops for a period sufficient for purification and prayer, the person is not considered to have incontinence, and their ruling is that of a healthy person. And whoever's urine stops after 30 minutes from urinating is not considered to have incontinence.
