Suffering waswasah in recitation during prayer
Assalaamu alaykum. Please respond urgently. I guess that you know from my questions that I suffer from Waswasah (devilish/obsessive whisperings) in recitations. To make things easier for me, can I skip the first Tashahhud and limit myself to the following short version of Tashahhud in the final unit of prayer both in the individual prayer and in congregation?..

Waswaas about presence of barrier on foot between water and skin
Assalaamu alaykum. Following up from the last answer about the barriers on my foot, how far should I go in searching for them and removing them? Currently, I check my feet with a nail clipper and/or pair of scissors in order to cut out any of the spots that are stuck to my toe nails. Again, how far am I suppose to go in checking for barriers to water?.. More

Site does not answer hypothetical questions
Assalaamu alaykum. If an adult, sane non-Muslim who lives in a non-Muslim land accepts Islam and then wants to leave Islam and does so, but they did not know anything or much about Islam and are very ignorant about Islam, can they be excused from the punishment for apostasy if their land was to become an Islamic State that is ruled by the Shariah? What.. More

Question resulting from OCD
If there is an item/product that represents disbelief or has something related to disbelief written on it and I hold it or touch it, do I become responsible for it? Do I have to give it back to its owner? I mean something such as a Christian cross, or something else; what if I were holding a bag that has a bible in it and I give it back to the owner,.. More

Waswaas about committing act of Kufr
I had sent you a question, but you referred me to another fatwa which I could not understand, so I am rephrasing my question. I am afflicted with Waswaas (devilish/compulsive whisperings), so I keep on thinking about whether I have done something that has taken me out of the fold of Islam and whether I am still Muslim or not. Is this the kind of doubt.. More

Breaking promise (to Allah) under influence of Waswaas
Assalaamu alaykum. I have been suffering from Waswaas (devilish whisperings/obsessive doubts) for a long time. For some reason, I thought that breaking a promise is Shirk (associating partners with Allah in worship), and unfortunately I broke that promise while thinking that breaking that promise was Shirk and will lead to Shirk. Now I know that breaking.. More

Waswaas about validity of Ghusl
Assalaamu alaykum. Sir, I am a 38-year-old woman who suffers from OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder) regarding matters of purity, especially Istinjaa’ (cleaning oneself with water after answering the call of nature), and I also have doubts regarding urinary incontinence (I have written to you previously, and may Allah reward you for your replies)...

Waswasah about disbelief in heart
Assalaamu alaykum, dear Brothers who are running this amazing informative website. I am someone who liked playing dice games like Monopoly. After being informed about the hadith prohibiting dice games, in a jest of the moment, I went to search for more convenient fatwas online until I realized that my heart was not submitting to Prophet Muhammad's,..

Suspects water on bathroom floor is impure
Assalaamu alaykum. There is a place near the toilet bowl in my washroom where the water never dries. A few days after moving in, I noticed a bluish colour in the water and thought that the toilet might be leaking as the soap in the water makes the water in the toilet bowl blue. Later on, I realized that some of the stains might have been dust, which.. More

Singing rap lyrics about the devil
I suffer from Waswaas (obsessive whisperings) very badly, just to let you know. I was singing a song and rapping. The lyrics were either, "Shaytaan, make amends for me or with me," or "Shaytaan, I will make amends with you." I am 99% sure that I did not sing or rap these lines, but if I did, would that constitute witchcraft or magic? Please try to help.

Waswasah about using singular and plural forms in supplication
Assalaamu alaykum wa rahmatullaahi wa barakaatuhu, Shaykh. It is true that a person must be honest; my question is the following: is what I am doing (an act of honesty) right, or is it extremism? I get irritated by the devil and supplicate that Allaah protects me from the devil and does not let 'his' evil whispers reach me. When I say 'his', I get confused,.. More

Waswaas about correct pronunciation in prayer
Assalaamu alaykum. How far should one go in trying to get the pronunciation right when reciting the Faatihah and Athkaar (pl. of Thikr [expressions of remembrance of Allah]) in prayer, especially in the silent ones? Trying to correctly pronounce each letter results in me opening my mouth widely in order to recite letters like ع and ح silently. It.. More

Muslim not sinful for mere thoughts
Assalaamu alaykum. Thank you for all the work that you are doing at Islamweb, and may Allaah bless you. There is something that I am quite confused about. I once jokingly thought to myself that I would kill my wife, then I jokingly thought that I cannot kill her but rather should "create a life with her". And thinking of this, I laughed. By 'creating..

Waswaas about considering calling absent person Shirk
Assalaamu alaykum. May the peace and blessings of Allaah, the Exalted, be on all of of you. I wanted to ask about an issue that has been bothering me. I used to listen to music due to some problems related to depression.I had some OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder) problem and a faith crisis. I am doing a lot better now, Maa Shaa Allaah (as Allaah.. More

Waswasah about deodorant
I performed Ghusl (ritual shower) and think that I remember washing under my arms and everywhere else. I also faintly remember putting on deodorant after finishing. The next morning, I started getting whispers as to whether I washed the armpit because there was deodorant on it. I did not get this whisper until after I prayed the Thuhr, ‘Asr, Maghrib,.. More
