Treatment of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder in Ablution
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This Honorable Shaykh says that he has been suffering from obsessive-compulsive disorder in his ablution for six months, so what is the effective treatment, Honorable Shaykh Salih al-Fawzan?
Answer:
The treatment is to say the name of Allah at the beginning of the ablution, saying "Bismillah," because this drives the Shaytan away from you. Also, if you feel the obsessive thoughts, seek refuge in Allah from the Shaytan,[Al-A'raf 7:200]. The third thing is that you should not react to the obsessive thoughts and not pay attention to them; they will go away from you, by the permission of Allah, and you should proceed with your work. Yes.

May Allah reward you with good,
