Treating Obsessions in Ablution and the Ruling on Rubbing the Feet
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh, this questioner says: I hope you will advise me, for I suffer from obsessions, especially regarding the ablution. What is the ruling on rubbing the feet for a period of time during the ablution?
Answer:
My brother, seek help from Allah and say the name of Allah at the beginning of the ablution; this drives the Shaytan away from you. Proceed with your ablution and do not entertain obsessions. Rubbing is not obligatory. What is obligatory is that water be poured over the limb so that nothing on the limb remains without water reaching it. If rubbing occurs, it is a recommended practice. If it does not occur, it is sufficient for the water to flow over the entire limb. Yes?
