I have a strange type of urine problem. What should I do?

I have a strange type of urine problem. Whenever I use the shower, even if I stand  under the water for 2 mins makes my body release urine. When I try to wash it off it still keeps coming and I have gone as far as bringing a lota into the shower with me but even until the very end of my shower urine still comes out. This also happens whenever I perform istinja as well, regardless of water temperature, time and amount. I’m almost certain  that there is najasah on my body as a result, but I have no real practical way of cleaning it off. This only happens whenever I take a shower or make istinja. As long as I use a damp paper towel to clean myself after making istinja, the dripping stops, but this is not the case when I take a shower. I have tried literally every method at my disposal to minimize this from occuring, from dumping water over my legs while avoiding my private regions to using paper towels while I’m in the shower to clean off the urine as soon as I know it is coming out to taking a shower only once a week to , but all of these methods have been ineffective. I used to be less concerned about this and would not worry about  the najasah on my clothes but after hearing about this being a serious issue because of urine being seen negatively in Islam it makes me concerned if I’m spreading najasah all ovee, especially in the mosque. I used to go for al 5 prayers but now because I have no way of cleaning this off easily, i don’t go except for Jumah anymore. I am also mazoor  with gas problems do whenever I go to pray  I have to make wudu so my body gets wet and I fear that I’m spreading najasah in the mosque and my dorm room whenever I make wuzu. What is a solution to this? If I have this problem what should I do?

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.

Firstly, we advise you to seek medical counsel regarding your condition immediately. Secondly, you state that urine drips only after showering and Istinja and you have observed that an effective method to stop the dripping is to use a damp paper towel. Thus, we advise you to use a damp paper towel after showering and Istinja to stop the dripping and perform wudhu thereafter. Having taken the above measures, avoid all feeling of baseless misgivings and doubts in regards to Najasah being on your body.[1] As an extra precautionary method, you may place a piece of paper towel in your underpants to absorb any leftover droplets of urine. You should only commence performing wudhu after feeling assured that no more drops of urine will come out. Before performing Salah, the toilet paper should be removed or replaced with clean toilet paper.[2]

You also state that you are a Ma’zoor with gas problems. A Ma’zoor is classified as one who cannot hold his/her wudhu (with ease and without putting their health at risk) for one complete fardh prayer. Preferably one should measure his/her stability of holding wudhu between the time of Asr and Magrib, for this is the shortest time between two prayers. One will remain Ma’zoor (excused person) as long as one cannot hold his/her wudhu for any moment between two prayers. Thus, it is sufficient for a Ma’zoor person to renew his/her wudhu at the beginning of every Fardh Salah time and the wudhu will be valid until the end of time of the same Fardh Salah time.[3]

Furthermore, this condition of yours shouldn’t be a hindrance to your frequenting the Masjid and praying Salah with Jama’ah. Salah with Jama’ah is more pleasing and beloved to Allah and source of attaining His mercy and grace.

And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
