A person suffering from urinary incontinence performing salaah standing

Q: If a person suffers from urinary incontinence and even by praying while sitting, urine comes out but while standing from prostration, urine comes out with more certainty, should he pray while standing or minimize the risk and pray while sitting?

A: If the urine comes out in both conditions, whether sitting or standing, then he should perform the salaah while standing.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
