What is the solution for the obsessive thoughts of excessive gas discharge after ablution (istinja'), the obsessive thoughts of urine discharge, the obsessive thoughts of showing off (riya'), and the obsessive thoughts of breaking one's intention due to gas disturbances?
The solution is to ignore intrusive thoughts (waswasa) and pay them no mind. If Satan whispers about passing gas, urine, or showing off in worship, continue with your worship and do not pay attention. Do not rule that your ablution is broken or your prayer invalid unless you have absolute certainty that you can swear by. As for milking the penis, it is not prescribed, but whoever needs it due to dripping urine may do so. However, if these actions are due to intrusive thoughts, then they must be abandoned, and one should remain natural by performing (washing after relieving oneself) and promptly leaving without paying attention to the intrusive thoughts.
