Question:
Honorable Shaykh Salih, and we are relaying to the brothers and sisters via the program’s phone number eight, zero, eight, eight, three, zeros, from the questions as well. One of the sisters says: I am a woman who does what Allah has made obligatory upon me of acts of worship, but I am prone to forgetfulness in prayer such that I pray while thinking about some of the events that happened that day. What is your guidance for me?
Answer:
She should focus on her prayer, and if a thought or something comes to her, she should leave it and focus on her prayer, along with seeking refuge in Allah from the accursed Shaytan at the beginning of the prayer after the opening takbir. Yes.
