What should a man do if he begins to doubt the validity of his religion and his faith?
The Shaykh:
He should seek refuge in Allah from the accursed Shaytan and leave the doubt, leave the obsessive thoughts, and seek refuge in Allah from Shaytan whenever he feels it[Fussilat 41:36] and not pay attention to the obsessive thoughts, but rather reject them completely and not concern himself with them. Yes, and he should not speak about them either; he does not speak to the obsessive thought in his heart, he keeps it to himself. Yes.

وَإِمَّا يَنزَغَنَّكَ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ نَزْغٌ فَاسْتَعِذْ بِاللَّهِ إِنَّهُ هُوَ السَّمِيعُ الْعَلِيمُ
