Does persistent doubt cease with the onset of menstruation, such that if one acts upon its ruling and then menstruation occurs, should one then act upon that ruling after the menses ends, or should one take the lesser (amount of time) due to the cessation of prayer during menstruation?
We have previously answered regarding the criterion for obsessive doubt (shakk mustankah) and the ruling concerning the one afflicted by it. What you are experiencing is undoubtedly obsessive doubt. As long as this is your condition, you should act according to the rulings for one afflicted by obsessive doubt until the whispers (waswas) leave you. The key is that the doubt comes to you every day, even if only once.
