AL-KAFI #751 : HUKUM PERCIKAN AIR KENCING
Is prayer valid if one wears trousers splashed with urine?
Short answer
Urine of humans or animals is impure. If it touches clothing, the body or the place of prayer, the prayer is invalid because purity from impurity is a condition for its validity.

Summary
Urine of humans or animals is impure. If it touches clothing, the body or the place of prayer, the prayer is invalid because purity from impurity is a condition for its validity. However, the prayer remains valid if the splash is slight, hard to avoid and not visible to the normal eye, since the law grants leniency for what is beyond a person's control.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Justeru, sekiranya air kencing kena pada pakaian, badan dan tempat solat, maka tidak sah solat kerana suci daripada najis adalah syarat sah solat. Namun, sah solatnya jika percikan itu sedikit, sukar dipelihara dan tidak dapat dikesan oleh mata.
