Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A woman asks, and she says: When I pray, intrusive thoughts come to me in the prayer, so I repeat the verse more than once, and so on until I finish the prayer, and I am in these intrusive thoughts. How do I get rid of that? How to get rid of that?

Answer:
By seeking refuge in Allah from Shaytan. Especially in the opening supplication before reciting Surat al-Fatihah, and by not paying attention to the intrusive thoughts. She proceeds with her prayer and does not pay attention to the intrusive thoughts, and she does not repeat the verses in response to the intrusive thoughts.
