How can one deal with an obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) that raises doubts about a friend's actions in the room, especially after subsequent observations, and is there a way to get rid of these thoughts without wronging the friend?

Congratulations on your recovery from obsessive-compulsive disorder. We recommend you be cautious of its recurrence by increasing your remembrance of Allah and not dwelling on negative thoughts. The default is to interpret what comes from friends in a positive light, as Allah Almighty says: "O you who have believed, avoid much [negative] assumption. Indeed, some assumption is sin." Advise your friend with wisdom and good counsel regarding what emanates from him, and control yourself when angry because it is from Satan. For psychological consultations, you can contact the consultation department.
