SOLAT MENGGUNAKAN TIUB KENCING

If the catheter cannot be separated from the person and is always with them, the situation is treated as a necessity and is permitted.

Summary
If the catheter cannot be separated from the person and is always with them, the situation is treated as a necessity and is permitted. As far as possible, the amount of urine should be kept low by emptying it first, or by changing and cleaning the tube. The fatwa refers readers to the JAKIM guidebook for further details on this matter.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Dalam isu ini, jika tidak boleh dipisahkan daripada seseorang dan sentiasa bersama dengannya maka ketika itu dikira darurat dan dibolehkan.
