Does the questioner understand from the fatwa that she should omit washing the body parts that cause her hardship and complete washing the rest, or should she immediately resort to tayammum?
Your claim of inability to ignore the waswas (whispers of Satan) is a temptation from Satan. The matter of (ritual bath) is easy. God’s pleasure is not attained by exaggerating it, but by performing ghusl in a normal manner: by pouring water over the entire body once. A strong presumption of the water reaching all parts is sufficient. This ghusl takes only a few moments. If a strong presumption is achieved, then get up and do not give in to the waswas. Abandoning ghusl and resorting to (dry ablution) is a response to waswas and not a cure. Waswas does not negate religious obligations; rather, it necessitates resisting them. The solution is sincere determination, diligent supplication, and firm knowledge that abandoning waswas pleases God.
