Doubt Regarding Ablution at the Opening Takbir

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: When I am about to say the takbir for prayer, I experience doubt as to whether I performed wudu' or not.

Answer:
Leave it alone. You did not come and attend the prayer unless you were in a state of wudu'. Leave this talk about waswasah (whispers of Satan).
