Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
We received this message from Umm Sultan, who says: Shaykh, sometimes I am plagued by doubts that some of my previous prayers were flawed and perhaps not accepted. Should I repeat these prayers?
Answer:
Never. Doubts that arise after completing an act of worship have no effect. She should leave them and reject them, because these are whispers from Shaytan that increase if she engages with them. Doubts after completing an act of worship have no effect and are not acted upon. Yes.
