The Best Way to Get Rid of Waswas

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Umm Ahmad, in her second question, asks the Honorable Shaykh and says: What is the best way? May Allah reward you with good, to get rid of waswas (whispers) in prayer, wudu' (ablution), and ritual purity, and in everything. I suffer from this a lot, so I ask you to make du'a' (supplication) for me. Honorable Shaykh Salih, if Allah wills.

Answer:
May Allah protect you from waswas. The way to get rid of it is to seek refuge in Allah from the accursed Shaytan. So if you feel something, seek refuge from the accursed Shaytan, because waswas is from Shaytan. Also, do not pay attention to the waswas; reject it completely and do not be affected by it. If you reject it and leave it, it will not harm you. Yes. May Allah reward you.
