What should someone do if they doubt whether they have performed the Dhuhr prayer?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
If you doubt whether you performed the prayer, the fundamental principle is that it was not performed, and it becomes obligatory to repeat it; this is because precedence is given to the principle that the prayer remains an obligation until its performance is confirmed. However, if these doubts are ** (obsessive whisperings/thoughts) that frequently affect you, then you are not required to make it up.
