Doubts

16 Mar 2023 Ref-No#: 5158

When i do ghusl i always have doubts if i had cleaned this specific area and stuff along the lines so i spend so much time in the shower. I have this problem with prayer too almost every salah i ask myself have i prayed 3 or 4, 2 or 3 it happens to me every salah and when i ignore it i cant get it out of my mind and i keep thinking about it for the rest of the day.
Should i just ignore the doubts or should i act upon them?

Answer

Wa’alaykum as Salām wa raḥmatullāhi wa barakātuhu,

In Ghusl, wash a maximum of seven times, then ignore.

For the prayers, just ignore.
