The ruling on one who doubts his ablution
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What does one do if he doubts his ablution?
Answer:
If it is waswas (whispers of Satan), he should not pay attention to the doubt. If it is a sudden doubt, he acts on certainty. If he wiped his head, he wipes his head with his ears, then he repeats wiping the tops of his feet. If he doubts whether he rinsed his mouth and he did not rinse it, he rinses his mouth and completes the ablution. As for one who is afflicted with waswas, he does not act on doubt and does not pay attention to the whispers. Some people have such waswas that they cannot walk. We ask Allah for well-being.
