Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Answer:
These knots are spiritual; they are not visible to the eye. But their meaning, and Allah knows best, is that Shaytan makes him lazy about the prayer, discourages him from the prayer, and says to him, “Sleep, for you have a long night ahead,” as mentioned in the hadith. This is the meaning of the knots: that he makes him lazy, that he keeps him from the prayer, and that he makes it heavy for him. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good. Finally, he says: Shaykh, I suffer from obsessive-compulsive disorder, which is what the psychiatrist told me, and this is in the wudu'. What is the cure?
