Living with Psychosis, Split Personality Disorder, and OCD: My Struggle with Backbiting and Leaving Islam

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftionline.co.za

Q: I have psychosis and split personality disorder, and ocd. I was repeatedly saying things to back bite people and to to leave Islam and if I was concentrating on stopping I would be able to stop. Some times I would put my attentive on something else and then I would continue saying things that would back bite or leave Islam. Would the backbiting count and did I leave Islam?

Bismillaah

A: Don’t pay attention to all this. Read durood shareef and the kalimah tayyibah in abundance.

And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
