Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: What is the ruling on leaving off a good, recommended act out of fear of showing off?

Answer:
This is from Shaytan; this is Shaytan’s attempt to discourage you. Do the good deed and make your intention sincere. Make your intention sincere. Do not leave off the deed out of fear of showing off; this is from Shaytan, an attempt by Shaytan to discourage you. Rather, do the deed and be sincere for Allah. No one prevents you from making your intention sincere for Allah (Mighty and Majestic). Yes.
