Background material for Year 3 Semester 2 Med PPSD session on 2nd February 2009

In urinary incontinence or hematuria, wudhu is followed immediately by salat with no delay. Suitable urinary bags should be worn to prevent soling clothes and the place of prayer.

Hematuria causing anemia exempts from saum.

Patients with renal failure not in coma pray as much as they can but are exempt from saum in order to control fluids and electrolytes.

In urolithiasis, movements are restricted if they trigger pain and salat is delayed while patients are under sedation to control pain. Stress of hajj movements and change in meals in a hot and dry climate may trigger pain.

Patients prone to stone formation have to be careful while fasting to make sure they take plenty of fluid and avoid hot environments that lead to excessive fluid loss.
