Obsessions in ritual purity and breaking the prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Our dear Shaykh, the brother Abu Hamid says: The many doubts regarding ritual purity when I perform the prayer; I break my prayer and go to perform wudu' again. What do you advise me to do? And is my prayer valid?
Answer:
This is a mistake. Obsessions, my brother, you leave them and reject them. You continue with your prayer and your purity. If you performed wudu' with certainty and then doubted whether it was broken, you remain with the certainty. The default, and praise be to Allah, is purity, and doubt does not break it. So you remain in a state of purity and pray, and your prayer is valid, if Allah wills. Do not break the prayer.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you and bless you.
