Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen was asked about the ruling for someone with urinary incontinence. He explained that such a person's condition is a permanent state of impurity, and the ruling is based on making things easier for those with valid excuses.

The procedure for someone with incontinence is as follows:

1. Do not perform wudu until after the time for the prayer has begun.
2. When the prayer time starts, wash the private parts to cleanse them of any impurity.
3. Wear a clean pad or cloth to absorb the urine and prevent it from spreading to the clothes.
4. After taking these precautions, perform wudu as normal.
5. Pray the obligatory (fard) prayer, and one may also pray any voluntary (nafl) prayers, read the Qur'an from the mushaf, and perform other acts of worship that require wudu.

This wudu remains valid until the time for the current prayer ends and the next prayer time begins. The continuous leakage of urine does not break this wudu. When the next prayer time starts, the person must repeat the entire process: clean themselves, apply a new pad, and perform a new wudu for that prayer.

The Shaykh explained that this ruling is based on an analogy with the woman who experiences istihadah (prolonged, non-menstrual vaginal bleeding), to whom the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) gave a similar instruction.
