Question:
Is it permissible to pray the obligatory prayers in place of those that may not have been accepted? I have found a sister who prays the obligatory prayers that she fears may not have been accepted due to her frequent forgetfulness, or for some other reason?
Answer:
This is a religious innovation and is not permissible. The original ruling is that the prayer is sufficient, so neither she nor a man should perform prayers as a precaution, fearing that the first prayer was not accepted. These are obsessions and doubts with no basis. However, if one knows that his prayer is invalid because he innovated in it, or because he prayed without ritual purity, then he must repeat it. But if it is merely that he is being whispered to by Satan, that is from Satan, and the original state is safety. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
