Question

Does wudhu break if the urine drops move from its origin in the male organ but does not come out?

Answer:

ﺑﺴﻢ اﷲ اﻟﺮﺣﻤﻦ اﻟﺮﺣﯿﻢ
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

As long as the urine remains within the urethra of the male organ, then the wudhu will remain intact. However, if the urine exits the urethra, then the wudhu will break. The definition of urine “exiting” the urethra is when the urine becomes apparent upon the urethra’s surface, even if it did not flow.1
