The Way Out of Satan’s Whispers

Question:
May Allah reward you with good and do you good. A message from Syria, signed by one of our sisters there, says: The afflicted Umm 'Ala from Damascus, Syria, says that she is afflicted with waswas (whispers). We ask Allah for well-being for us, for her, and for every Muslim. She says that she often doubts, even regarding the impurity of faucets and utensils, and she washes them with water and soap every time. At that point, she asks you, Shaykh Salih, what is the way out of this affliction? May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
This is a whisper from Satan. The way out is to seek refuge in Allah from Satan, to leave this matter alone, and not to pay attention to it. It will be removed from her, by the permission of Allah. She should increase her remembrance of Allah and seeking refuge from Satan, and not pay attention to it. It will be removed from her, by the permission of Allah.
