Question:
May Allah reward you. This questioner asks: Is the person afflicted with obsessive thoughts exempt from the burden of responsibility? Because he is in torment, it takes up his time, and it fluctuates, increasing and decreasing.
Answer:
If his awareness is gone and he does not know what is happening, he owes nothing. But if the obsessive thoughts are mild, he should seek refuge in Allah from Satan, leave the obsessive thoughts, and they will not harm him, if Allah wills. Yes.
