Question
i suffer badly from "wiswas". i need some advice very badly on passing wind and regarding mazi and mani
i am in my 20's and i am trying to practice my daily pillars. the thing is i always get very bad wiswas becasue i always think i have either passed wind during namaz.
the other matter is that everytime i have a bath, i am not sure as how to prepare myself after nocternal emmission to have a bath. does one have to COMPLETELY dry urine becasue when i press a paper towel against my "thing" i can see dots of darkness which is water. im never sure if im completely 100% dry down there, how do i know im properly dry becasue even if theres a drop of urnine so small will that invalidate my bath? this also makes me waste a lot of paper as i keep doing it but the dots keep coming back therefore im not dry yet. this makes me waste a hell lot of time.
i really wanted to perform my daily prayers and i normally try not to sleep sometimes as i dont want to have wet dreams thus i have to re-do the painful procedure of taking a ghusl, then i dont know if my urine was compoletely dry or not. i REALLY want to read namaz and quran and remain in dhikr but this problem of mine just wont let me. could you please tell me the exact procedure of making sure urinze is completely dry as this is such a big probel for me.I AM REALLY DESPERATE AND I WOULD LIKE AS MUCH HELP AS POSSIBLE I CAN GET FROM YOU
Answer
1. The fact that you realise this is ‘wiswaas’ makes the issue far more easier to handle. In such a situation, the safest course of action is to ignore these Shaytaani thoughts. Once you continuously ignore them, Shaytaan will leave you alone and Insha Allah, you would be cured of this problem.
2. Once you urinate and then take a bath and thereafter you have drops of urine discharged, your bath is valid. This discharge does not invalidate your bath. Your problem of wiswaas could be bothering you here as well.
and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best
