The Effect of Waswas on Purity and Prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: In her last question, she says: Honorable Shaykh, I am afflicted with waswas (whispers of doubt), and this waswas enters into my purity, my prayer, and all my deeds. Are these deeds that I perform valid despite this waswas being mixed with them?
Answer:
Waswas (obsessive thoughts) does not harm if a person does not speak or act upon it; then it does not harm him. He must reject it, seek refuge in Allah from the accursed Shaytan, and the waswas will go away, if Allah wills.
