Is there a fatwa that permits performing ablution (wudu) and prayer while continuously experiencing the emission of prostatic fluid (wady) and urine drops after relieving oneself, given that this impedes one's tasks and preoccupies one's mind?

The prayer is not valid if one continues to experience the discharge of prostatic fluid (wady) or urine. Rather, one must wait for it to stop, then perform ablution (wudu') and pray. However, if the aforementioned condition is continuous for more than half the duration of prayer times, then one may adopt the view of the Maliki school, which states that continuous سلس (urinary incontinence or constant discharge) does not invalidate ablution.
