"Waswas (obsessive whispering/thoughts) is an illness that afflicts some people in matters of creed, worship, or other areas. It has causes and a cure. Often, the cure is easy and does not require the husband's permission or help, though his and your family's assistance will support you more. We advise you to inform your family about your illness and your need for the facilitated treatment. We ask Allah to grant you a swift recovery."
