What is the ruling on excessive obsessive doubt regarding the emission of pre-seminal fluid (madhy) during prayer?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The cure for obsessive doubts (waswasa) is to ignore them and not pay them any attention. Doubting the invalidation of ritual purity (tahara) has no effect, for the certainty of its validity is not removed by doubt. If you doubt that pre-seminal fluid (madhi) has exited you, proceed with your prayer and do not pay attention to this doubt or obsessive whisper. Similarly, outside of prayer, do not pay attention to doubts about the invalidation of your ritual purity.
