Summary
A daimul hadath is a person whose impurity is continuous, such as urinary incontinence, istihadah or a constantly bleeding wound, and the ruling is likened to that of a woman with istihadah. The obligation to pray does not lapse, but the person must wash the private part, plug or bandage the exit point, then perform ablution or tayammum and pray promptly. This is done for every obligatory prayer. The ablution is invalid if done before the prayer time begins because it is a purification of necessity, and the entry of the time may be determined by certainty or by judgement through ijtihad.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
فلو توضأ قبل دخول الوقت لم يصح لأنه طهارة ضرورة، ولا ضرورة قبل الوقت
