Question:
I am an elderly woman, and I often forget during my prayer. I doubt the number of rak'ahs I have prayed and whether I recited the adhkar or not. Will Allah accept these prayers from me, and what is your advice to me?
Answer:
Yes, pray and seek refuge in Allah from Satan. Leave the waswas (whispers of doubt) alone; do not pay attention to them. It will go away from you, if Allah wills. Yes.
