The Ruling on Waswas (Obsessive Doubts) Regarding Repeating Wudu
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Abu Haytham from Riyadh says: My brother has a brother who, while in a state of wudu, delays for a long time and repeats the wudu more than once. Is this a form of waswas?
Answer:
Yes, this is from waswas (obsessive thoughts). He should not repeat the wudu. If he has performed wudu, then once is sufficient. It does not mean that if his wudu is completed, he should pay attention to the waswas. He should consider his wudu sufficient and complete, and praise be to Allah. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
