Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: My wife is afflicted with waswasah (whispers) during prayer, during wudu' (ablution), and during reciting the Qur'an. He says: What is the action to take in order to get rid of this ailment, may Allah preserve you?

Answer:
Seek refuge in Allah from the accursed Shaytan. The routine is to recite the three short surahs: al-Ikhlas,
Say, "I seek refuge in the Lord of daybreakقل اعوذ برب الفلق
[Al-Falaq 113:1]
and
Say, "I seek refuge in the Lord of mankind,قل اعوذ برب الناس
[An-Nas 114:1]
. In them is seeking refuge from al-Waswas and al-Khanas. Seeking refuge in Allah is what benefits; nothing benefits except seeking refuge in Allah. Then, leave the waswasah (whispers), do not pay attention to it, and do not concern yourself with it. Yes.
