Socratic Questioning Sebagai Solusi Masalah Waswas: Pendekatan Hadis Terpilih

Several hadiths reported by the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ contain several questions and answers about a topic. It discusses a lot about all the issues that occur, as well as answers to the issues that are provided. However, questions and answers from hadiths on mental issues have long been employed as one of the therapies used by psychiatrists and clinical psychologists today, known as Socratic inquiry. This technique is significant in the process of mental health therapy, particularly for waswas or obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), as well as for other mental disorders such as anxiety disorder. Based on a knowledge of Hadith jurisprudence, the purpose of this research is to compile those hadiths linked to waswas that contain features of Socratic inquiry. A total of four hadiths have been recognised as being associated with misgiving and the use of Socratic inquiry as a problem-solving technique. As a result, three forms of Socratic inquiry have been developed based on four hadiths linked to misgiving, namely Questions of Clarification, Questions About the Question, and Questions that Probe Assumptions. This study is anticipated to emphasise the chosen hadith method as one component of treatment in mental health, specifically the waswas issue.
