Treatment for one afflicted with obsessive doubts in ablution
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
A woman is afflicted with obsessive doubts in ablution, so what is the treatment for such a case, and it has tired her somewhat?The Shaykh: By Allah! My brother! I say: Satan strives to mislead the children of Adam, either in worship or in creed,And the remedy is two things: that he should seek refuge in Allah from the accursed Satan,And the second: that he should turn away from this and not pay attention to it,For example: when he enters to perform ablution and performs it, washing his face and hands, wiping his head, and washing his feet, that is sufficient and he should not repeat it,Even if Satan says: that you have not completed the limb.
He should not pay attention to this,If Satan says: that you have not rinsed your mouth or sniffed water into your nose.
He should not pay attention to this, likewise in prayer, he enters prayer and during the recitation he doubts whether he said the opening takbir or not? He should not pay attention to this, he continues, he doubts whether he prostrated two prostrations or one? He should not pay attention to this, so the one with obsessive doubts has no ruling for his doubts, even if a man divorced his wife while having obsessive doubts, the divorce would not take effect.
Satan comes to a person even in creed and says: Who created such and such? Who created such and such? Who created Allah?Let him say: Allah is One, the Eternal, He begets not, nor was He begotten, and there is none comparable to Him.
And he turns away.
Then, even if he endures hardship in being patient in turning away from this thing, in the end it will be removed from him, we ask Allah the Exalted to cure those afflicted with this and to cure us from what He has afflicted them with.
