Question

I have OCD therefore in salaah I try to keep silent but as I try to do so it counter attacks me (the opposite occurs), thus by force I make a small sound or a small sound which can be the result speech, thus I should repeat my salaah until I feel I havent made a sound or speech, but lately I said enough is enoug this can be something like wasaawis which I also have a problem with thus weather I make a small sound or speech I regard my salaah as valid, please what should I do?

Answer

Don’t pay attention to doubts. Consider your namaaz to be valid.
