The Ruling on Excessive Doubt in Ablution and Prayer

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The first question, may Allah reward you with good: What is the ruling on excessive doubt in ablution and prayer?

Answer:
Yes, regarding doubt and obsessive thoughts, the Muslim should not pay attention to them in all acts of worship, because this is from Shaytan. So at the beginning of ablution, he says "Bismillah" as mentioned in the hadith,
Because "Bismillah"لأن بسم الله
which drives Shaytan away from him. So he does not pay attention to the obsessive thoughts, but rather he completes his ablution as Allah the Exalted has commanded him, and he does not pay attention to the obsessive thoughts that Shaytan casts upon him. Yes.
