Does a person have to make up for the days they missed fasting in Ramadan due to their scrupulousness about saliva scattering on their lips while speaking or reciting the Qur’an, especially if they feel the need to constantly wipe their lips?

The answer

The most effective remedy for obsessive thoughts is to ignore them. Rather, the person afflicted by obsessive thoughts should continue reciting the Quran frequently and make up for any missed fasts. They should be aware that their fast is valid even if saliva reaches the lips or extends beyond them. The cunning of Satan will vanish if the servant is sincere in their reliance upon their Lord.
