OCD taking over my life

Question:

Ya Sayyidi, I hv 3 children and need to wash them all the time. I wash my hands 3 times for 30 seconds each after using the washrom. But if during the first time I get splashes anywhere I end up cleaning that area twice for 30 secs too. It takes too long.

Answer:

Mawlana Shaykh Hisham Kabbani is praying for you.

You must use your will power to stop this behavior. Try to limit the washing to 2 times for one week, then 1 time for the next week, then reduce the time of washing to 20 seconds. Ask Allah’s support constantly to fight this battle and your Shaykh’s support by saying Madad Ya Sayyidee.
