- You don't need to be 100% clean for salah. Having a little impurity on your clothes is OK - a "coin's worth" of impurity is fine. Don't obsess over how big that coin is, or if you have more than a coin's worth. To help you picture that "coin", just take the palm of your hand and draw a small circle inside. Don't make the circle too small, or too big. Just right. Just what you consider to be "a little bit" of impurity. And go easy on yourself. Just keep in mind that you can have a "little" impurity on you. What you consider to be little is different from what someone else may consider.
- Have a good merciful opinion of Allah. Allah treats you as you expect him to treat you, so expect him to treat you with mercy regarding cleanliness.
- Shaitan causes people to either become excessive, or become negligent. With OCD, Shaitan tends to take people to the excess in cleanliness and prayers. Do not go excessive - set a limit, follow the sunnah.
