If someone has doubt over uttering a kufr statement then do they have to repeat iman and nikkah?<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\">My problem is that I have been living with severe OCD most of my life. The past six years ( since my marriage) ive got a new type of OCD about kufr. I Keep feeling that maybe myself or my husband said or did something that might have made us kafir. So I feel very disturbed and kept repeating the shahdah and nikkah. My husband doesn\u2019t like my habit of renewing nikkah (done in front of my dad and brother). However if I don\u2019t repeat it\u00a0 I feel very upset and do not want to fulfill my rights as his wife. I often say the words that I am thinking. More recently I had a kufr statement that kept coming to mind over and over. The statement was \u2018 nahi koi mera Allah\u2019\u00a0 Nauzbillah. I dislike it it and do not accept it in the heart.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\">However, one day whilst doing wudu I said half of it\u2019 Nahi koi mera\u2019 \/ \u2018no one is my\u2019( not sure if I clearly uttered all of it or just lip moved)\u00a0 and can not recall for certain\u00a0 saying the remaining word \u2018 Allah\u2019. I feel most likely I did not say the word \u2018Allah\u2019 but soo after I started feeling really worried that maybe I have uttered full clear kufr statement. Now I am very disturbed and keep thinking maybe over nikkah broke.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\">I read somewhere that if there is doubt over uttering kufr statement then one doesn\u2019t become kafir but I leep thinking what if I actually uttered all of those words clearly. I don\u2019t want to repeat nikkah because then Shaitan might start playing with my mind and I might start feeling same over and over On the other hand if I don\u2019t repeat nikkah I might be committing adultery. I feel stuck and badly stressed out. Do I need to repeat nikkah or ignore the thought of committing kufr because I am not sure if I clearly uttered the full statement<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\"><strong>In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\"><strong>Answer:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\">The principle of Shariah is that Certainty is not removed by doubts. Therefore you are certain that you didn\u2019t uttered these wrongful statement. Thus you will still be in the state of imaan.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\">Whenever you have such thoughts, do not entertain it and you should repel it by reciting the ta\u2019awwuz (a\u2019ouzu billahi min asshaitani arrajim). Always be in the state of wudhu and keep contact with a reliable scholar in your locality. Most importantly engage in dua and keep the tongue with the zikr of Allah and the recitation of the Quran. InshaAllah these will help.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\"><strong>References:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\">\u0627\u0644\u064a\u0642\u064a\u0646 \u0644\u0627 \u064a\u0632\u0648\u0644 \u0628\u0627\u0644\u0634\u0643<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\">\u0642\u0648\u0627\u0639\u062f \u0627\u0644\u0641\u0642\u0647\u064a\u0629<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\">\u0639\u064e\u0646\u0652 \u0623\u064e\u0628\u0650\u064a \u0647\u064f\u0631\u064e\u064a\u0652\u0631\u064e\u0629\u064e\u060c \u064a\u064e\u0631\u0652\u0641\u064e\u0639\u064f\u0647\u064f \u0642\u064e\u0627\u0644\u064e \u200f &#8220;\u200f \u0625\u0650\u0646\u0651\u064e \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0651\u064e\u0647\u064e \u062a\u064e\u062c\u064e\u0627\u0648\u064e\u0632\u064e \u0644\u0623\u064f\u0645\u0651\u064e\u062a\u0650\u064a \u0639\u064e\u0645\u0651\u064e\u0627 \u0648\u064e\u0633\u0652\u0648\u064e\u0633\u064e\u062a\u0652 \u0623\u064e\u0648\u0652 \u062d\u064e\u062f\u0651\u064e\u062b\u064e\u062a\u0652 \u0628\u0650\u0647\u0650 \u0623\u064e\u0646\u0652\u0641\u064f\u0633\u064e\u0647\u064e\u0627\u060c \u0645\u064e\u0627 \u0644\u064e\u0645\u0652 \u062a\u064e\u0639\u0652\u0645\u064e\u0644\u0652 \u0628\u0650\u0647\u0650 \u0623\u064e\u0648\u0652 \u062a\u064e\u0643\u064e\u0644\u0651\u064e\u0645\u0652 \u200f\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\">Sahih Bukhari hadith 6664<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\">\u0631\u062c\u0644 \u0643\u0641\u0631 \u0628\u0644\u0633\u0627\u0646\u0647 \u0637\u0627\u0626\u0639\u0627 \u0648\u0642\u0644\u0628\u0647 \u0645\u0637\u0645\u0626\u0646 \u0628\u0627\u0644\u0625\u064a\u0645\u0627\u0646 \u064a\u0643\u0648\u0646 \u0643\u0627\u0641\u0631\u0627 \u0648\u0644\u0627 \u064a\u0643\u0648\u0646 \u0639\u0646\u062f \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0647 \u0645\u0624\u0645\u0646\u0627 \u0643\u0630\u0627 \u0641\u064a \u0641\u062a\u0627\u0648\u0649 \u0642\u0627\u0636\u064a \u062e\u0627\u0646 \u0645\u0627 \u0643\u0627\u0646 \u0641\u064a \u0643\u0648\u0646\u0647 \u0643\u0641\u0631\u0627 \u0627\u062e\u062a\u0644\u0627\u0641 \u0641\u0625\u0646 \u0642\u0627\u0626\u0644\u0647 \u064a\u0624\u0645\u0631 \u0628\u062a\u062c\u062f\u064a\u062f \u0627\u0644\u0646\u0643\u0627\u062d \u0648\u0628\u0627\u0644\u062a\u0648\u0628\u0629 \u0648\u0627\u0644\u0631\u062c\u0648\u0639 \u0639\u0646 \u0630\u0644\u0643 \u0628\u0637\u0631\u064a\u0642 \u0627\u0644\u0627\u062d\u062a\u064a\u0627\u0637<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\">\u0641\u062a\u0627\u0648\u0649 \u0627\u0644\u0647\u0646\u062f\u064a\u0629 \u062c\u0662 \u0635\u0662\u0668\u0663<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\">Only Allah (\u0639\u0632 \u0648 \u062c\u0644) knows best.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\">Written by Mufti Abdoullah Limvoonheek<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\">Checked and approved by Mufti Mohammed Tosir Miah<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\">Darul Ifta Birmingham<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fatwa ID: 08752 &nbsp; &nbsp; Answered by: Mufti Abdoullah Limvoonheek &nbsp; Question: &nbsp; I have a question about uttering \u00a0a kufr statement.
