Question:
May Allah reward you. Yes, Honorable Shaykh, he says: I did not pray the 'Asr prayer today, and every time I remember it, I forget it. I have not prayed it today, and now my mind is troubled, and I am distressed about everything. What should I do? Please advise us, may Allah reward you with good. He says: I did not pray the 'Asr prayer today, and every time I remember it, I forget it. I have not prayed it up to now, and now my mind is troubled, and I am distressed about everything. What should I do? Please advise us, may Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
It appears that this is a whisper from Satan; it is a waswas (whisper). He should pray 'Asr, if Allah wills. It is not possible to skip 'Asr. He should pray with the Muslims, but he has a waswas that suggests he has already prayed. He should seek refuge in Allah from Satan and leave the waswas so that it does not increase over him. He must seek refuge in Allah from Satan, reject the waswas, and not pay attention to it. He should engage in the remembrance of Allah the Exalted, and it will go away, if Allah wills.
