Question
If there is doubt whether one relieved themselves, should they bless? What is the ruling in general and if there is doubt but it seems more likely that they did, but not certain?
Answer
Hello,
In case of doubt, one does not bless.
When a person 'is in doubt, but it seems more likely that they did, but not certain'. The rule is that anything not 'certain' is considered 'doubt', and the ruling is that in a case of doubt, one does not bless.
However, according to your description, I understand that this is not a true doubt, but unnecessary doubts.
And the situation is that it really seems to you that you are obligated, and only due to personal difficulty you are causing yourself doubts. In such a case, you should act as it really seems to you, and bless.
