Doubting one's children
Question
One of my friends has obssesive compulsive disorder. She always doubts things. Now she's doubting if her children are her own children or not because she saw on news that the hospital she delivered her children, they sometimes forget to put the mothers name tag on the child's hand so the child might go to the wrong mother. Thats why she is really worried. What should she do now?
Answer
Tell her to ignore the doubts.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
