Guidance on Waswas (whispers) during prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Or waswas, or which of the two it is. So when I pray, I perform the prayer, and while I am in the middle of it, I try to remember how many rak'ahs I have prayed, but I do not remember anything, or whether I recited al-Fatihah, for example? I do not remember that, and so on, which leads to repeating the prayer. So what is your guidance? May Allah preserve you.
Answer:
This is not doubt. It is waswas. So it is obligatory that she does not pay attention to the waswas. She should pray and continue in her prayer, not pay attention to the waswas, and seek refuge in Allah from the accursed Shaytan. Then, if she does that, it will go away from her by the permission of Allah. So it is obligatory for her not to pay attention to this waswas, not to let it affect her, and to reject it completely and continue in her prayer, because this is a type of waswas that, if she acts upon it, it will increase upon her, and if she rejects it and leaves it, it will go away from her by the permission of Allah.
