Suffering From Urinary Incontinence

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftionline.co.za

Q: If a woman has urinary incontinence, what are the rules concerning her wudhu?

A: If the dripping is continuous to such an extent that for the entire duration of a namaaz time one is unable to perform wudhu and read four rakaats of namaaz without the urine dripping, then such a person will be classified as a ma`zur. The law for such a person is that he/she will have to make a new wudhu for every namaaz time.

( وصاحب عذر من به سلس ) بول لا يمكنه إمساكه( أو استطلاق بطن أو انفلات ريح أو استحاضة ) أو بعينه رمد أو عمش أو غرب وكذا كل ما يخرج بوجع ولو من أذن وثدي وسرة ( إن استوعب عذره تمام وقت صلاة مفروضة ) بأن لا يجد في جميع وقتها زمنا يتوضأ ويصلي فيه خاليا عن الحدث… ( وحكمه الوضوء ) لا غسل ثوبهونحو ( لكل فرض … ثم يصلي ) به ( فيه فرضا ونفلا ) فدخل الواجب بالأولى ( فإذا خرج الوقت بطل ) (الدر المختار 1/305-306)
