The answer

Compulsive doubt (al-shakk al-mustankah), which is an abundance of doubts and obsessive whispers (waswasa), necessitates alleviation for the one experiencing it. Therefore, prostration of forgetfulness ( al-sahw) is not obligatory for him; rather, it is recommended according to the Maliki school, and it is not legislated for him according to the Hanbali school. The most important way to get rid of it is to distract oneself and turn away from it.
