The questioner : From the confused sender, A S E M. This message reached us, and in it she says: I always perform wudu for prayer five times or more because I doubt my ritual purity. What is the solution? May Allah guide you?
The Shaykh : The solution for us is that this woman should increase her remembrance of Allah the Exalted and seek refuge in Allah from the accursed Shaytan, and that she should not pay attention to what she has done after she has finished doing it. If she performs wudu the first time, she should not repeat the wudu a second time, no matter what doubts or obsessions come to her mind. Because if she opens this door for herself, the obsession may lead her to doubt her prayer, her faith, and her Islam. This is a great harm and danger. It is obligatory for her to increase her remembrance of Allah and seek refuge in Allah from the accursed Shaytan when this occurs, and not to pay attention to it as long as she has done it, so she does not repeat it a second time.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : Yes.
