Are Umrah and prayer valid despite repeated doubts about the purity of clothes due to touching a water hose lying on the bathroom floor during Wudu (ablution), especially with the presence of obsessive-compulsive disorder?

The water on the bathroom floor is originally pure, as is the hose and similar items it touches. Therefore, the purification (ablution), ', and prayer are valid.
One should not pay attention to whispers of impurity, as the default state of things is purity, and they do not become impure by doubt.
It is advised to persistently supplicate and humble oneself, to distract oneself from these whispers, and to consult a trusted psychiatrist.
