Urine catheter bag at Davening
Question
What is the Halachah about wearing a urine catheter bag while Davening (because of medical problems)?
Answer
It is permitted for an ill person to Daven (pray) and say anything holy with a catheter, but he should cover the tube through which the urine flows. It is preferable to cover also the bag with the urine.
