Severe Whispers about Impurity

Question

Salaam,After I urinated and cleaned, I was going to the shower and noticed that there was sticky liquid which was mazi, I am strong doubts on whether any drops have fallen on the floor and before I could wash, the impurities transfers on to shoes, the hair on the floor and other places in the house before I could vaccum. I feel like I have become OCD about things in my house and life and it has become hard. I have heard that purity is half deen and even though I doubt things in the past have got impured, I have guilty feeliings in which I didnt have a number of months ago.Can you please advise ?Thank you for all the help

Answer

All perfect praise be to Allah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allah, and that Muhammad  sallallaahu  `alayhi  wa  sallam ( may  Allaah exalt his mention ) is His slave and Messenger.

Our advice to you is to ignore these whispers, neglect them, and not pay any attention to them.

You should not judge that something has become (ritually) impure just because of doubt. Rather, you should act according to the principle, that it is pure.

You should act according to this principle unless you become absolutely certain that it has become impure; certain to the extent that you can swear that it is impure.

If you become this certain, then purifying the impurity is easy; this is by pouring water on it and then immersing it all with water.

All what you have mentioned is nothing but baseless whispers. So ignore them, neglect them, and do not pay any attention to them, because giving in to them leads to a great evil.

Allah knows best.
