Summary
A person with salis al-baul is considered to have a valid excuse in prayer. If urine does not flow while standing, he must pray standing. If standing causes urine to flow but sitting holds it back, he must pray sitting in order to preserve his purity. The prayer performed sitting in this case is valid and need not be repeated.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Namun, jika dengan solat berdiri akan menyebabkan air kencingnya mengalir manakala dengan solat secara duduk akan menahan air kencingnya dari keluar, maka hendaklah dia menunaikan solat secara duduk bagi menjaga wuduk dan juga solatnya.
