Excessive Self-Accounting When It Deters from Righteous Action

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: If excessive self-accounting deters one from righteous action and from spreading good in the future, what is to be done in that regard?

Answer:
This is a whisper (waswasah). If self-accounting leads to severity, it becomes a whisper from Shaytan, and one should leave it.
