A Pregnant Woman is suffering from a Continuous Flow of Urine, should She abandon?
Question :
A woman in the ninth month of pregnancy is suffering from an uncontrollable flow of urine at all times, and she has stopped praying in the last month; does this amount to abandoning prayer, and what is incumbent upon her?
Answer:
It is not permissible for the above-mentioned woman, or any other woman in similar circumstances to cease praying. Rather, she must pray whatever her condition, performing Wudhu' at the time of each prayer, like a woman suffering from continuous vaginal bleeding. She should protect herself as much as possible (from urine) by using cotton or the like, and perform the prayer on time. It is lawful for her to perform the supererogatory prayers at the same time, and it is permissible for her to combine the Zuhr and Asr prayers and the Maghrib and 'Isha' prayers, like the one suffering from continuous vaginal bleeding in accordance with the Words of Allah, the Almighty, the All-Powerful:
So keep your duty to Allah and fear Him as much as you can.
She must make up for the prayers she has missed, as well as turning in repentance to Allah (Tawbah), the Most Glorified, Most High, with remorse for what she has done and the intention not to return to it, based upon the Words of Allah, the Most Glorified:
And all of you turn to Allah in repentance, O you believers, that you may be successful.
