Are prayers and acts of worship valid when performed while constantly wearing a condom to get rid of the obsessive thought of urine impurity on clothes, knowing that the wearer is single?

The answer

We ask Allah the Almighty to grant him well-being from the whisperings and doubts he is experiencing. We advise him to disregard them. If one doubts the impurity of his clothes, he should not pay attention to this doubt and should consider his clothes pure, because the default state of things is purity until impurity is established with certainty. As Sheikh Ibn 'Uthaymeen said: "The original state of what was, remains as it was." There is no need to wear a condom; it is a result of these whisperings. His prayer with it is valid if it is pure.
