Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is every doubt in prayer considered waswasah?
Answer:
No, or rather, every doubt. Sometimes a person doubts when he does not have waswasah, so he builds on certainty, at the very least, and completes his prayer. But if this is a matter of waswasah, he leaves it; he leaves the waswasah and seeks refuge in Allah from Shaytan.
