He is affected by waswaas concerning purity

Many thanks to you for helping people to understand Islam as it was enjoined by Allaah. I am suffering with the problem of washing a great deal when I do wudoo’, such that I need more than two hours to relieve myself and do wudoo’, which is a waste of time and effort and is driving me crazy. I even went to a psychiatrist about this problem. If I sit in a place where someone else has been, I have to brush all my clothes until I feel pure and ready to pray. I am suffering a great deal with this problem. I hope that you can answer me and tell me the name of a book I can read or a du’aa’ I can recite to rid myself of this problem.

Praise be to Allaah.
 

 

We ask Almighty Allaah, by His beautiful names and sublime
attributes, to heal you from this problem. It should be noted that this is a
kind of psychological disease that is known as Obsessive Compulsive
Disorder, which refers to thoughts that dominate a person in some ways and
persist with him even though he knows that they are mistaken and are not
correct. This may be dealt with in several ways: 

1 – Thinking positively of Allaah, making a great deal of
du’aa’, and beseeching Allaah to heal you from this waswaas. 

2 – Getting used to ignoring these waswaas and not paying any
attention to them. You can put a suitable amount of water in a vessel, and
do not make wudoo’ directly from the tap any more; make yourself do wudoo’
from this vessel only. Tell yourself that there is no other water available
except what is in this vessel, and make do with what it contains. Do not
wash any part of the body more than three times. Even if the Shaytaan tells
you that your wudoo’ is not valid, this is just a whisper from the Shaytaan
and does not mean anything. 

3 – The same applies to brushing your clothes after sitting
in a place where someone else has sat. You should ignore this waswaas and
force yourself not to brush your clothes. You should train yourself in this
manner no matter what the waswaas is. 

4 – You should remember the fiqhi principle which is that
what is certain cannot be altered by something doubtful. If you are certain
of something, you should not pay attention to any doubts after that. If you
have done something then do not pay attention to any doubts that come along
after doing it. If you have washed your hand, then do not pay any attention
to doubts that come, even fleeting doubts, suggesting that you have not
washed your hand, as Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen (may Allaah have mercy on him)
said: 

Doubts after doing something do not matter, otherwise doubts
will increase.  

You should not pay any attention to doubts that come after
completing an act of worship, and even if a man has a lot of doubts he
should not pay any attention to them. 

5 – There is nothing wrong with consulting a trustworthy
psychiatrist who can prescribe some useful treatment for you. 

 

For more information please read Ighaathat al-Lahfaan
by Ibn al-Qayyim and Talbees Iblees by Ibn al-Jawzi, which both
discuss how the Shaytaan toys with people by means of waswaas, and how one
may remedy that. 

We ask Allaah to set your affairs and those of all the Muslims straight.
