Cure for OCD
Question
I have been affected by ocd for 6 years. I'm tired of it. I lost all hope in life. Is there any cure for it in Islam?
Answer
What we have found effective is that one should not pay attention to it. Carry on with life as a normal person. Thoughts will go in different directions. Initially you will find it hard, but as you will get used to the idea it will become easy and manageable.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
