Ibn Bazz: Feeling drops of urine during Salah

Feeling drops of urine during Salah 

Q: The following inquiry is posed by a sister from Riyadh wherein she says: I am eighteen years old. For two years now, it happens that whenever I start performing Salah (Prayer), I feel as if urine comes out. Such a case continues with me often. Appreciate your guidance! 

A : This feeling renders neither Wudu' (ablution) nor Salah invalid, because this is just Satanic insinuations. Consequently, your Salah is valid and such insinuations do not harm you except if you are sure that you have discharged urine. 

( Part No : 10, Page No: 131) 

If you are sure of that, you are obliged to perform Istinja' (cleansing the private parts with water after urination or defecation), Wudu', and Salah again after washing what have afflicted your body and clothes of urine. Illusions and insinuations, on the other hand, should not attract the least of your attention, and your Salah is valid. 

You should beware of such insinuations and should busy yourself with performing Salah properly and with Khushu` (the heart being attuned to the act of worship). You should keep away from such insinuations in order for them not to haunt you.
