What is the ruling on one who performs wudu' frequently due to waswas (whispers)?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Due to waswas, I perform wudu' more than three times for every obligatory prayer. What is the ruling on my purity?

Answer:
The first wudu' is sufficient. If you have performed wudu', that is enough, so do not repeat it. Leave the waswas. If you have performed wudu' and are certain of it, then that wudu' is sufficient, and praise be to Allah. If waswas comes to you, leave it. The default is purity, and certainty is not removed by doubt. Yes.
