What if someone has was was what's the solution? My solution? Because

00:00:03 --> 00:00:06

as as an OCD counselor and effect teacher, I would say they have to

00:00:06 --> 00:00:10

completely unplug from the sources of information that they have. So

00:00:10 --> 00:00:13

they have to completely stop reading questions and answers, no

00:00:13 --> 00:00:17

fatwas online. No listening to videos, stop.

00:00:18 --> 00:00:22

Stop altogether. And this is a hard advice when I heard it from

00:00:22 --> 00:00:25

one of my teachers like as a recommendation to for someone I

00:00:25 --> 00:00:27

was like, because I said like I have a student who's like this,

00:00:27 --> 00:00:31

which I do, tell him to stop studying. Why? Because you need to

00:00:31 --> 00:00:35

be in a sense quarantine from that is any information that you get

00:00:35 --> 00:00:39

your psychological state your fitrah has been bent actually. And

00:00:39 --> 00:00:42

any information that you get, no matter how many fatwas I'm going

00:00:42 --> 00:00:45

to give you how many Roxas you're going to bend it and defend it and

00:00:45 --> 00:00:46

get into more OCD.
