Answer

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.

Rasūlullah (صلي الله عليه وسلم) advised us that there is a Shaytan for everything. There is also a Shaytan for Wudhu to distract us from our Wudhu. We should ignore the waswasas of and focus on our responsibilities.

In the inquired case, you do not have to pay Damm and your wife is halal for you.

We advise you consult your physician for diagnosis and medication. We are hopeful that appropriate medication will help alleviate your disorder.

And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best

(قوله: شك في بعض وضوئه) أي شك في ترك عضو من أعضائه (قوله: وإلا لا) أي وإن لم يكن في خلاله بل كان بعد الفراغ منه وإن كان أول ما عرض له الشك أو كان الشك عادة له؛ وإن كان في خلاله فلا يعيد شيئا قطعا للوسوسة منه كما في التتارخانية وغيرها (قوله: غسل رجله اليسرى) قال في الفتح: ولا يخفى أن المراد إذا كان الشك بعد الفراغ. وقياسه أنه لو كان في أثناء الوضوء يغسل الأخير؛ كما إذا علم أنه لم يغسل رجليه عينا وعلم أنه ترك فرضا مما قبلهما وشك في أنه ما هو يمسح رأسه

How is ghusl (the obligatory bath) performed?

“A1) One should refrain from making Tilaawat by the deceased before Ghusl is executed due to the deceased being in a state of Najaasat (due to death). A2) If one is not in the same room as the deceased, then one may make Tilaawat…”
