The answer

What has afflicted this woman are mere whispers and passing thoughts; it has not reached the level of settled doubt in the heart. Her dislike and aversion to these thoughts are evidence of the soundness of her faith, and she must strive to repel these whispers from herself. Ghusl (ritual bath) is not a condition for the validity of repentance from apostasy, and it is only obligatory, according to the preponderant opinion, for someone who committed during their apostasy what necessitates ghusl. She must resist these whispers, turn away from them, and ignore them, for indulging in whispers leads to great evil.
