Doubt concerning an act of worship after its completion has no effect. Similarly, for the person afflicted with excessive doubts (waswas) regarding acts of worship, these doubts have no legal impact. Therefore, it is neither obligatory nor permissible to repeat the purification, prayer, fasting, or any other act of worship whose validity is doubted, because these doubts stem from waswas and occur after the completion of the acts of worship.
