Answer :
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
As-salāmu ʿalaykum wa-raḥmatullāhi wa-barakātuh
If drops of urine are emitted onto one’s clothing before making Wuḍūʾ and they soil the clothing to an amount the size of the inner palm of one’s hand or less, thereafter such a person makes Wuḍūʾ, it is not advisable for him to perform Ṣalāh or lead others in Ṣalāh while wearing such clothing, although his Ṣalāh would be valid. He should clean the area that is soiled or change his soiled clothing before performing Ṣalāh or leading others in Ṣalāh.[1]
In the above case, if the urine drops soil the clothing to an amount more than the size of the inner palm of one’s hand, then one cannot perform Ṣalāh or lead others in Ṣalāh, as the Ṣalāh performed with such clothing in invalid.[2]
If a person makes Wuḍūʾ and thereafter urine drops are emitted, his Wuḍūʾ would be nullified. Irrespective of the amount of urine drops, a person cannot pray Ṣalāh in such a situation and neither can he lead the Ṣalāh as he is not in the state of Wuḍūʾ.[3]
It is necessary for males to make Istibrāʾ after urinating.[4] Istibrāʾ means to do any action that would allow the remaining drops of urine to come out of the urethra until one is satisfied that all the remaining drops of urine have been emitted. The most effective way to of doing Istibrāʾ is to place one’s fingers on the area just below the scrotum and press that area while moving one’s hand upwards. One should continue doing this several times, until all the remaining drops of urine are discharged from the urethra.

[1] إذا شرع الرجل في الصلاة فرأى في ثوبه نجاسة أقل من الدرهم إن كان مقتدياً وعلم أنه لو قطع الصلاة وغسل النجاسة يدرك إمامه في الصلاة أو يدرك جماعة أخرى في موضع آخر فإنه يقطع الصلاة ويغسل الثوب لأنه قطع للإكمال وإن كان في آخر الوقت أو لا يدرك جماعة أخرى مضى على صلاته. (فتاوى قاضيخان، المطبوعة مع الهندية (1/ 31))
[2] والغليظة إذا زادت على قدر الدرهم تمنع جواز الصلاة. (فتاوى قاضيخان، المطبوعة مع الهندية (1/ 18-19))
وقدر الدرهم وما دونه من النجس المغلظ كالدم والبول والخمر وخرء الدجاجة وبول الحمار جازت الصلاة معه وإن زاد لم تجز. (الهداية، دار احياء التراث العربي (1/ 37))

(الدر المختار، المطبوع مع حاشية ابن عابدين (1/ 134))
[4] (قَوْلُهُ: يَجِبُ الِاسْتِبْرَاءُ إلَخْ) هُوَ طَلَبُ الْبَرَاءَةِ مِنْ الْخَارِجِ بِشَيْءٍ مِمَّا ذَكَرَهُ الشَّارِحُ حَتَّى يَسْتَيْقِنَ بِزَوَالِ الْأَثَرِ... وَلِذَا قَالَ الشُّرُنْبُلَالِيُّ: يَلْزَمُ الرَّجُلَ الِاسْتِبْرَاءُ حَتَّى يَزُولَ أَثَرُ الْبَوْلِ وَيَطْمَئِنَّ قَلْبُهُ. وَقَالَ: عَبَّرْت بِاللُّزُومِ لِكَوْنِهِ أَقْوَى مِنْ الْوَاجِبِ؛ لِأَنَّ هَذَا يُفَوِّتُ الْجَوَازَ لِفَوْتِهِ فَلَا يَصِحُّ لَهُ الشُّرُوعُ فِي الْوُضُوءِ حَتَّى يَطْمَئِنَّ بِزَوَالِ الرَّشْحِ. اهـ.
