Q: I suffer from OCD and during namaz I forget if I have read somthing, so I will start the namaaz over again or I will repeat what I think I forgot. Also sometimes I think I said somthing wrong and I will repeat that part until I think I said it right. It is so stressful for me to read namaz and doing this takes so much time. A simple asr namaaz that takes anyone else 5 maybe 10 minutes takes me around 20-30 minutes to read. This takes up so much time during the day I can never finish anything else. I need to know if I think I have forgotten somthing or said somthing incorrect what should I do because it is obviously not normal to take so long to pray even the simplest of namaz. I just can never tell what really happend and what is my doubts.
Q: While reading namaaz different types of sounds come out like when I close my lips and while opening the lips and due to the movement of the tongue some sound is generated and while reading rabbana lakal hamd near hamd different sounds comes out, when the tongue touches the upper lip. Do this kind of sounds invalidate my salaah? Can you tell me which kinds of sounds invalidate salaah and which of them don't?
Q: This morning I thought fajar happened around 6:35 so when I woke up around 6 I thought there was still time to pray. I went and made wudu and I am kind of sure that the sky was dark but there was like a very faint light when I started. I didn't think it was that late so I started praying. I struggle with OCD so it takes me a while to pray even four rakaat and when I was done the sky was still dark but it was a lighter blue colour. Did I pray at a forbidden time? Did my namaaz not count? I am so doubtful and my OCD makes everything so hard can you please tell me what I should do? If I have to repent or make it up do I read the prayer of repentance after making wudu?
