Question:
Sometimes doubts and intrusive thoughts occur to me regarding acts of worship and obedience, and sometimes they rise to even higher matters. What is the ruling on this? And what is your advice for teaching
Answer:
If something like this happens to you at its beginning, seek refuge in Allah from the accursed Shaytan, and do not pay attention to the intrusive thoughts; cut them off from yourself, and by this, they will go away from you, with Allah’s permission. Yes.
