The answer

If the discharge of pre-seminal fluid (madhy) is not continuous, it invalidates wudu' (ablution) and prayer. However, if it is mostly continuous, and it stops for a sufficient time to perform wudu' and prayer, then one must wait for the time it stops. If it does not stop for a sufficient time, then one must perform wudu' for each prayer after its time has begun, along with washing the affected area and binding it with a cloth. What is discharged thereafter does not matter, as Ibn Qudamah said: "A woman with prolonged vaginal bleeding (mustahadah) and a person suffering from urinary incontinence or continuous discharge of pre-seminal fluid... are those whose impurity is continuous, and they cannot maintain their purity. Such a person must perform wudu' for each prayer after washing the affected area, binding it, and taking precautions to prevent the discharge of the impurity as much as possible."
