Wady must discontinue before Wudhoo’ if discharges last 10 minutes

Question

The waswas of the satan affect me in the way that I have to pee before every prayer for example it is 12:59 I do not have to pee and when I hear the adhan at 13:00 I auttomaticly have to pee just because of my mind.The urge then is not the same as for example i wake up in the morning and i normally have to pee(like every body else).I think you know what I mean there is a difference of "my body says i have to pee" and "my mind says i have to pee". On top of that, which makes the situation even more complicated, my body produces waddy.The waddy comes out 10-15 minutes and then it stops.So the combination of theese two is that before every prayer i have to spend 15 minutes on washing and than i can pray.Should i just do like i i said :first pee,then wait 10-15 minutes,wash the penis,take wuddu and then pray or just pee,take wuddu and than pray without waiting 10-15 minutes.I hope you understood my situation.

Answer

All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, is His Slave and Messenger.

We advise you to ignore the mental urge to urinate and not to go relieve yourself unless you have a real need for it and not just due to Waswaas. If the case is as you described, that when you relieve yourself the discharge of Wady (secretion of prostate) lasts for around ten minutes, then you should wait until the discharge ceases, cleanse the area of impurity, perform Wudhoo’, then pray. You should not hasten to perform Wudhoo’ before the Wady discharge discontinues because these discharges render the Wudhoo’ invalid. Indeed, you are not suffering from incontinence; so your prayer is not valid with Hadath (state of ritual impurity).

Allaah Knows best.
