Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the treatment, Shaykh Salih, for obsessions, whether compulsive or in acts of worship or ritual purity, which some people, especially women, complain about?
Answer:
The treatment for obsessions consists of two things. First, seeking refuge in Allah from the whispering Shaytan, the whisperer who withdraws. Second, one should leave the obsessions alone, not pay attention to them, and not let them affect him, and they will go away by the permission of Allah. Yes.
