Treating doctrinal obsessions and the prohibition of lawful things upon oneself
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: I am afflicted with doctrinal obsessions that I cannot repel, and now I have started forbidding lawful things upon myself because of these obsessions. What must I do?
Answer:
You must seek refuge in Allah from Shaytan.[Al-A'raf 7:200] Seek refuge in Allah if you feel any of this, because it is from Shaytan. That is one aspect. The second aspect is that you do not speak about these obsessions; keep them to yourself. Whispers of the self do not harm if you do not reveal them and speak of them. As long as you do not speak or act upon them, if you keep them to yourself and do not speak of them, they will not harm you.

Answer:
You must seek refuge in Allah from Shaytan.
And if an evil suggestion comes to you from Satan, then seek refuge in Allah
