What is the ruling on leading the prayer while urine drops continue to exit despite repeated ablution and placing a tissue?
If these drops cease before the time for prayer expires, allowing enough time for purification and prayer, then you must wait, then purify yourself and pray. However, if the drops continue for the entire time, then your ruling is that of one afflicted with perpetual ritual impurity ( سلس السلس), meaning you perform ablution for each prayer after its time has entered, and you pray with that ablution the obligatory prayer and whatever supererogatory prayers you wish. The validity of a person afflicted with perpetual ritual impurity leading in prayer someone who is not excused like them is a matter of scholarly disagreement, but the fatwa we adhere to is that it is valid. You can consult the advice section on the website and present yourself to a trustworthy doctor to find out the cause of this.
