Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A young man is suffering from intrusive thoughts (waswas) regarding the basmalah, wudu, ritual purity, the call to prayer, and the prayer. What is the cure? He says the takbir in prayer and then feels he did not say it, and he feels that wind has come out of him.
Answer:
He should not pay attention to the intrusive thoughts; he should reject them and leave them. He should continue in his prayer and his worship and his ritual purity. He should continue, and there is no blame on him. He should seek refuge in Allah from Shaytan according to the extent of the intrusive thought. He should seek refuge in Allah from Shaytan and not pay attention to this, and he should continue in his work. Yes.
