Is it better for a questioner—who changes his mind frequently due to obsessive doubts (waswasah)—to imitate Sheikh Al-Albani in his book: "The Prophet's Prayer Described" in everything related to prayer, so that he can devote himself to worship? Is this action correct? And what do you advise him?
It is permissible for you to follow Sheikh Al-Albani or other trustworthy scholars such as Ibn Uthaymeen and Ibn Baz. Your responsibility will be absolved by doing so, and your worship will be valid. We caution you against obsessive thoughts (waswas), and we advise you to ignore them, for indulging in them leads to great evil.
