The ruling on one who doubts whether his ablution has been broken
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
If a person goes to pray and then doubts in himself whether his ablution has been broken or not, what should he do?
If a person is in a state of ablution and doubts whether his ablution has been broken or not, he remains in his state of ablution; because that was reported to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and he said: (Do not leave until you hear a sound or find a smell) And this, praise be to Allah, is a relief for the person, so even if your suspicion becomes strong that you have broken your ablution, do not pay attention to it unless you are certain.
But suppose: If a person broke his ablution, and then when the call to prayer was made and he wanted to go to the mosque, he doubted whether he had performed ablution after breaking it or not, he must perform ablution; because the original state is the continuation of the state of ritual impurity until he is certain of its removal.
