What is the ruling on obsessive doubt regarding ritual purity after menstruation (taharat al-hayd) and prayer, and is it obligatory to perform ghusl every time one doubts the validity of the first purification? And is a woman sinful if she does not perform ghusl again while believing in the validity of her first purification?
The cure for obsessive whispers (waswas) is to despair of them and pay them no mind. If a woman ascertains purity by one of two signs (dryness or the white discharge), she must perform ghusl and not heed the whispers of Satan.
