Question:
May Allah reward you with good. The question of this listener is that he has many intrusive thoughts when he enters the bathroom?

Answer:
As for intrusive thoughts, when they become frequent for a person, they are from Shaytan. So he should not pay attention to them; rather, he must seek refuge in Allah from Shaytan and proceed with his worship, whether it is wudu' (the ablution for prayer), salah (the ritual prayer), or something else. He should not pay attention to Shaytan's intrusive thoughts; he should seek refuge from him, reject the intrusive thoughts, and not pay attention to them. He should complete his prayer and complete his wudu' and taharah (ritual purity). If he is given the intrusive thought that his wudu' has been broken, the default is purity, and praise be to Allah. Certainty is not removed by doubt. Yes.
