I keep doubting my prayers and Wudu, repeating them even though I know it’s waswasa. How can I stop these obsessive doubts and find peace?
Zaid Alsalami

Bismihi ta'āla

Ignore these intrusive thoughts. What ignore means is dont repeat. Whatever the circumstance may be, to avoid developing waswasah, dont repeat. This is your fiqhi duty.

When I pray, I sometimes feel like I might have passed gas, but I am unsure if I heard a sound or if it is just internal. I don't believe I actually did, but the doubt arises when I hear a sound. What should I do given my strong belief that I haven't?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

When you are not sure about it, and have just a doubt, it means that your Wudu is still valid and your prayer is valid as well.

If someone is uncertain whether their trousers are impure due to a possible splash of urine or just water, should they wash them and repeat their prayers, or is the doubt sufficient to consider them clean?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

The doubt in impurity itself does not mean that the item is impure unless and until you have certain knowledge or concrete evidence that it is impure. You don't need to repeat your prayer just because of the doubt. If you want to repeat that prayer out of precaution, you can do so but it is not obligatory.

I have been uncertain about my Ghusl and consider repeating my Ghusl and keep questioning my fasts. What is the best course of action for me in this situation?
Zaid Alsalami

Bismihi ta'āla

You must completely ignore and dismiss these thoughts of doubt. The best course of action to rid yourself of waswasah, or developing waswasah is to dismiss these thoughts and ignore them, and never repeat what you have done.
