I have doubts about purity and impurity.

Assalamu Alaikum! Sir, I have doubts about purity and impurity. Often when I touch a thing I doubt whether it will be pure or impure and when it strikes to me that it is impure I keep on washing my hands until I am satisfied. And while bathing the same thing occurs and keep on pouring water due to which many of my Namaz become Qadha and I am quite worried about this. Could you instruct me of a Wazheefa. Thanks. Wassalam.

One should suffice in washing his limbs only three times while making Wudhu and to over come the said Waswasa (whispers) it will be very useful to be particular in the below mentioned Wadha’if .
1. After every Namaz recite 21 times A’oozu Billahi Minash Shaithaaani Aamanthu Billahi Wa Rusulihi with 3 times Durood Shareef before and after.
2. Make the practice of reciting the third Kalima in abundance every now and then or else at least 700 times during day and night. Insha Allah with this your uneasiness would disappear.

ویستعمل الماء إلی ان یقع غالب ظنہ انہ قد طھر ولا یقدر بالمرات إلا اذا کان موسوسا فیقدر بالثلث فی حقہ کذا فی الھدایة. (ج۱، ص۷۹)
فعلم بھذا ان المذھب اعتبار غلبة الظن وإنھا مقدرة بالثلاث لحصولھا بہ فی الغالب وقطعًا للوسوسة وانہ من اقامة السبب الظاھر مقام المسبب الذی فی الاطلاع علی حقیقتہ عسر کالسفر مقام المثقة. کذا فی الشامیة: ج۱، ص۳۳۱)
ولا یقدر بالعدد إلّا ان یکون موسوسا فیقدر فی حقہ بالثلاث کذا فی عالمگیریة. (ج۱، ص۴۹) واللہ اعلم بالصواب
