How to Get Rid of Whispers in Prayer and Ritual Purity
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is it permissible to repeat the prayer if I have doubted my ablution? And what is the cure if Satan makes me do this with every ablution?
Answer:
This is from Satan. You do not have to repeat it; rather, you must guard against this and force Satan to back down. As long as you do not know that you are in a state of other than purity, and it is only whispers, then the prayer is valid, and it is not permissible for you to repeat it ever. Rather, this is obedience to Satan. The original state is purity until you know with certainty that you have broken it. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was asked: “O Messenger of Allah, a man imagines that he has broken his state of purity during the prayer.” He said:Sahih Muslim 361.

He should not return (from prayer) unless he hears a sound or perceives a smell (of passing wind).
