The answer

Since the waswas (whispers/obsessive thoughts) ceased for two days, the doubt is not chronic (mustankah), and one must base their action on the minimum, especially as the predominant assumption aligns with basing it on the minimum. Therefore, the prayer mentioned is invalid and must be repeated.
