What is the ruling on the imamate of a person suffering from prostatitis who doubts the validity of his ablution, and is there a cure with herbs or Prophetic Medicine?
It was previously mentioned what one should do if they frequently doubt the invalidation of their ablution. There is no harm in him leading prayers for those who do not experience such doubts, as doubt about purity is not like incontinence. If you suffer from incontinence, it is better and more prudent that someone else leads the prayer to avoid controversy. The herbal treatment for obsessive-compulsive disorder is the specialty of herbal doctors. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, encouraged seeking treatment, for he said: "Seek medical treatment, for Allah has not created a disease except that He has also created a cure for it, except for one disease." They said, "O Messenger of Allah, what is it?" He said, "Old age."
