If a person does not feel humility in his prayer, should he repeat it?

Question : Do we say that it is recommended for a person to repeat his prayer if he did not feel humility in it?

Answer : To repeat it. What appears to me is that it is better not to repeat it, even though some scholars said that if you recite al-Fatihah and your heart does not feel humility and you are not present in mind, it is better to repeat it in a more complete manner. However, I see that it should not be done, because if we open the door, it leads to obsessive doubts (waswas). Every time a person recites something, he says, "By Allah, I did not feel humility in it, so I will repeat it," and perhaps he will say, "I did not feel humility in the bowing, so I will repeat it." Opening the door leads to obsessive doubts, and there is no doubt that leaving alone a matter that proceeds without harm is better.
