Treating Doubt About the Number of Rak'ahs

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: I doubt greatly about the number of rak'ahs when I pray, so I do not know how many rak'ahs I have prayed, and this happens to me constantly. What should I do about this?

Answer:
It appears to be waswas (whispers of Satan). Leave it, leave it, and act on what you are certain of. This is waswas. Yes.
