Treatment of Obsessions and the Wife’s Mental Illness

Question:
He says: Your Eminence, may Allah preserve you, peace be upon you and Allah’s mercy and blessings. After that, I love you for the sake of Allah, and I ask Allah the Exalted to guide you to the best reward for your noble services to the Muslims. Your Eminence, my wife is suffering from a mental illness, anxiety, and tightness of the chest. She is being treated with the Qur’an and with words that are not permissible, but the condition is being treated with the voice of the homeland. Since she is present in the scene today, I ask for her to be treated, that her condition be repeated, and that she be guided in a way that benefits her, by the permission of Allah the Exalted. May you raise your supplications for her and take charge of her healing. And may the brothers present be upon you with your narration. Perhaps Allah will heal her and guide her, since she is a righteous woman who preserves her religion and loves her husband, loves good, enjoining what is right and forbidding what is wrong. Peace be upon you and Allah’s mercy and blessings.

Answer:
And as for the Sunnah. As for loving for the sake of Allah, it has been mentioned that one should say, "May Allah love you for the sake of which you made us love you." Loving one another for the sake of Allah is among the best of acts of worship. As for your wife, and that she is afflicted with some of the obsessions and illnesses that befall her, we ask Allah for her healing. We ask Allah to heal her, and every Muslim man and woman. We ask Allah to heal your wife and every Muslim and every Muslim woman from every trial. And we ask Allah to protect everyone from the whispers of Satan, and from religious innovations and desires. It is obligatory for every Muslim to be wary of obsessions, and it is obligatory for every Muslim to be wary of obsessions. Satan is eager to mislead the children of Adam. Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, says: and his party, so that they may be . So he is full of whispers in prayer, in ablution, and in the full ritual bath. So it is obligatory for men and women to be wary of obsessions. And when an obsession occurs to him, he says, "I seek refuge in Allah from the accursed Satan," and he performs ablution as Allah has commanded him. He prays as Allah has commanded him. He fasts as Allah has commanded him. And he is wary of obsessions. And when something occurs to him, he says, "I seek refuge in Allah from the accursed Satan," "I seek refuge in Allah from the accursed Satan," he repeats it, and he is strong against the enemy of Allah. This is what the believer must do, and not to submit to the obsessions, not in ablution, not in prayer, not in anything else, and not during prayer. He says the takbir as Allah has commanded, he performs ablution as Allah has commanded, and he does not mind the obsessions. He is wary of them and stays away from them. And when something passes by him, when something occurs to him, he says, "I seek refuge in Allah from the accursed Satan." This is what the believer and the believing woman must do: seek refuge in Allah from Satan, and be wary of obsessions, for he is the enemy of Allah, an enemy to you, and an enemy to your wife, and an enemy to every one of the Muslims. So it is obligatory to be wary of him, and that is by seeking refuge in Allah from Satan, as the Exalted said: And the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded that, saying: So he seeks refuge in Allah from Satan, and spits on his left side three times. If he sees in his dream what he dislikes, he wakes up and spits on his left side , then he turns over to his other side, and it will not harm him. And he does not tell anyone about it.
And when some of the Companions complained to him that when he entered prayer, the obsessions increased, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: Wait until it goes away from you. The Companion said: .
So it is obligatory for the believing man and woman to seek refuge in Allah from Satan when whispers occur in the prayer or in the ablution or in the full ritual bath or in anything else, sincerely. He seeks refuge in Allah from the accursed Satan sincerely, and by that Allah will protect him. He spits to his left three times, he says, “I seek refuge in Allah from the accursed Satan” three times, sincerely, and by Allah, that is enough against his evil.
