Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: A person has many doubts and whispers, and he struggles against them and acts on his predominant assumption. Is the prostration for forgetfulness required of him in that case?

Answer:
No, as long as these are whispers, he is not one who has forgotten. This is waswas (whispers). He rejects the whisper and seeks refuge in Allah from Shaytan, and it will not harm him, if Allah wills. Yes.
