Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: A person constantly misses the obligatory prayers because of obsessive thoughts and staying in the bathroom. Does he sin for this?
Answer:
He does not sin for this, because he did not intend it. However, he should seek refuge in Allah from the whispering Shaytan. He should seek refuge in Allah, and by Allah’s permission, this obsessive thought will go away from him little by little. Yes.
