The answer

No attention should be paid to doubt that arises after completing an act of worship, such as ablution (wudu') or prayer (salat). However, if doubt arises during the act of worship, one must perform what was doubted and build upon certainty. If one doubts the original performance of ablution, they must perform it, because the default is non-existence.
