Question:
Honorable Shaykh, this person asks about a woman who is frequently afflicted by whispers, especially regarding ritual purity. She performs wudu in the restroom more than five times. The sister says: “We have been unable to guide her, but it has been of no avail. Is her prayer valid?”
Answer:
Her prayer is valid because this is beyond her control. However, she must reject the obsessive doubts, abandon them, and seek refuge in Allah from them. If Allah wills, they will be removed from her.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
