Fasting: Waswās (Obsessive Doubts) in Fasting — Is the Fast Still Valid?

English:

Question #824:

I am obsessed by doubts — or to put it precisely I am obsessive — especially in religious matters, and particularly in ritual matters. For instance, during the last Ramadan, I had a doubt whether I had swallowed some thick dust that had entered my mouth and whether I had spitted out water that I had drawn into my mouth? Is my fast valid?

Answer #824:

In light of your question, your fast is valid. Such doubts have no significance.
