Dribbling urine after urinating

Question:

Salaam I was wondering if you could help me with a few problems. I currently suffer from a urinary problem - I tend to dribble urine after urinating (not major urinary incontinence) & leak very slightly intermittently (on & off - no detectable pattern) all the time - but not streaming urine or anything on that scale just very slight leakage. I have discovered because of this problem I have to clean my private part & re-new wudhu when the prayer time begins for every prayer and also put something there to stop contamination of clothes etc. My problem is that I have tried putting tissue paper there to stop contamination but it is very difficult as it moves out of place & thereby I possibly become contaminated by the very slight leakage, so now I put a very small piece of tissue there & put tape over it to stop it moving & stop any chance of contamination. However this leads to a few problems - 1)it is very time consuming, taking no less than 20 mins approx & 2) the tape is slightly damaging in the sense of it damaging the skin & could be harmful in the long run possibly. So I was wondering if you could advise on the issue due to your knowledge . Also, sorry for taking up your time - forgive me - whilst I have access to tissue/tape etc. here where I currently am - I intend to travel abroad in the not so far future & was wondering what I would do there with my problem - not having access to tissue etc. as they are rural remote villages? Also this problem leads me to waste vast amounts of water eg. when I have a bath I think that as I leak slightly that when water pours down my penis that urine goes along with it & contaminates the rest of the body where water goes - thereby consuming lots of water, also as when I leave the bath water drips from the private part onto legs etc.- as it naturally would after bathing -but then I get insinuations that this has made my legs etc. impure thereby I end up bathing again. Sorry for long question but it is stressing me out. Jzk

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 is His slave and Messenger. We ask Allaah to exalt his mention as well as that of his family and all his companions.

 

We have issued Fataawa 82085 and 87992 regarding what a person, who suffers from incontinence of urine or is unable to maintain purity, should do, so please refer to them.

Moreover, we think that you are allowing this issue to negatively affect your life; we have issued Fatwa 83401 on how to deal with whispers, so please refer to it.

Allaah Knows best.
