{"_id":"668da0530b76658b4c233439","title":"Is it permissible to recite again a part of Salah if you find yourself distracted?","question":"During prayer, is it ok to recite again a part if you find yourself distracted and thoughts wandering? For example, if at the end of the tashahud you realize you were not present of mind when saying it, can you say it again before finishing prayer? Or should you conclude prayer and then pray again, so as to make up for the mindless prayer?","answer":"Yes, it's permissible to do so. However, I caution against dwelling too much on this issue, as it may lead to doubts and potentially contribute to obsessive-compulsive tendencies. Without knowing you personally, I'm offering this advice as a precaution. Instead of fixating on this matter, I suggest focusing on improving concentration and attentiveness in your prayers. You can compensate for any lapses in concentration during obligatory prayers by performing additional voluntary prayers. If you believe that falling into misgivings won't affect you, then there's no issue in repeating the part of the prayer that lacked concentration.","tags":[{"_id":"668d9fef0b76658b4c232985","tag":"Salah: Validity","count":156},{"_id":"668da0010b76658b4c232b89","tag":"Khushoo","count":3}],"createdOn":"2024-07-09T20:40:51.716Z"}
