Question:
This is a listener asking, and he says: I inform you that I often experience doubt as certain as knowledge that I have broken my wudu' (ablution) during the wudu'. Consequently, I repeat the wudu' between three and six times. Sometimes the prayer is established, and I am still repeating the wudu'. Please guide me on how to act in this situation? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
There is a difference between doubt and certainty. What happens to the questioner is doubt and waswasah (whispers), not certainty. It is waswasah from Shaytan. So he must reject it, perform wudu' the first time, then go out and pray with the Muslims. He should not pay attention to these waswasah, nor repeat the wudu' several times. Yes.
