Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is this distinction correct regarding minor shirk (associating partners with Allah) in terms of invalidating the deed? For example, if one shows off in the entire prayer, his deed and his prayer are invalid, and if he shows off in adorning the recitation or prolonging the prayer, only the reward of the deed is invalid. Is this correct?
Answer:
This is what we have known from the words of the scholars. All of riya' (showing off in worship), in all its types, is not permissible and it invalidates the deed that it mixed with. Yes.
