This ruling is based on the legal principle that the default assumption about acts or events is non-occurrence.\\n\\nHowever, if the doubt stems from repeated patterns of uncertainty or obsessive thoughts about your acts of worship, you should disregard it and consider your prayer valid. Such doubts are a form of waswasa and should not be entertained to avoid unnecessary hardship.\\n\\nIf this is a recurring issue, develop a habit of consciously making dhikr after your prayers or saying, \\\"I prayed Fajr, alhamdulillah,\\\" once you complete the prayer. This can serve as a mental marker to help you confirm your action later.\"}]}","tags":[{"_id":"668d9fe30b76658b4c23281e","tag":"Salah: Other","count":138}],"createdOn":"2024-12-30T17:39:52.070Z"}
