Does ignoring evil thoughts and not fearing them constitute a clear contradiction of faith?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The treatment for bad thoughts – whether they are psychological or satanic – is to turn away from them, ignore them, and pay them no mind. They do no harm as long as you dislike them and are keen to get rid of them. In fact, you will be rewarded for struggling against them. A Muslim must strive to guard their thoughts and plant good thoughts in place of bad ones.
