Ruling on joining prayers for one who has urinary incontinence

Question

shekh ibn uthameen fatwa on the one who finds drops oozing out after he has been to the toilet and performed his istinja is that he sould perform the istinja and then when the time for prayer has entered then he should perform the wudoo .
Q- What about when one is combining the prayer due to travel if the drops come in between the two prayers ie . after he has performed his Zhur BUT BEFORE HE HAS MADE THE IQMA FOR ASR OR ANY TIME WITHIN THE ZHUR PRAyER IE .
BEFORE HE SAYS HIS IQAMA FOR THE ASR DOES SUCH A PERSON HAVE TO PERFORM THE WUDOO AGAIN FOR HIS SECOND PRAYER IE ASR IN THIS CASE.

Answer

Praise be to Allah.

If the urinary incontinence is continual and does not stop when you are praying, then you should pray ‘Asr with the same wudoo’; you do not have to repeat the wudoo’. 

But if the incontinence stops, then a few drops come out during the period between the two prayers, then you have to repeat the wudoo’.

And Allah knows best.
