The answer

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.
