Doubt regarding forgetting to sniff water after completing wudu, then praying the obligatory prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. The sender, Maim, asks another question: I performed wudu for the Maghrib prayer, and after finishing the wudu, I had a doubt: did I sniff water or not? I did not repeat the wudu based on the rule that doubt after completing an act of worship is not considered, so I prayed Maghrib and 'Isha with that wudu. Is my prayer valid? And what do you advise me to do? May Allah reward you.
Answer:
Your prayer is valid, if Allah wills, and this rule is correct, derived from the texts. Doubt after completing an act of worship does not affect it, because it is from waswas (whispers of Satan). If a person were to open this door for himself, much evil would open up for him. So if one completes an act of worship and no doubt arises during it, but only after it is completed, it is not considered. Yes.
