Doubt in Religion and Creed
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: May Allah preserve you, is doubt in religion and in matters of religion among the things that invalidate the creed?
Answer:
If it is of the nature of obsessive thoughts (waswas), he should leave it and not pay attention to it. But if it is not of the nature of obsessive thoughts, but rather he doubts with a wavering doubt between the validity of the act of worship and its invalidity, or its reward and the lack of reward, this is not permissible. This is doubt in Allah. It is not permissible to doubt in religion, nor to doubt in acts of worship. Rather, it is obligatory to believe in the validity of what Allah has prescribed and to do what Allah the Exalted has made obligatory. Yes.
