How do I perform my salaah?
Published as Performing salaah with a catheter
Question
My doctor recently put a catheter on for me. How do I perform my salaah?
Answer
If the urine will drip and mess you by detaching the bag at the time of salaah then salaah can be performed with the catheter as normal.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Where scholars differ, it’s safer to take the more cautious view.
