Hiding Good Deeds and Not Speaking About Them
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
She says, in response to the two questions that were second from last. She says that she talks about her night prayer. She also asks for permission, saying that she will pray. She says that this happens without any specific intention.
The Shaykh:
In any case, a person hides his deeds and does not talk about them or inform people of them, because this leads to showing off in worship (riya').
The questioner:
May Allah reward you with good and do you good. A listener from Libya sent a message from Algeria. He sent a long message; the summary of what is in this message is that he complains of a skin disease, because every time he performs the ablution for prayer (wudu'), that disease increases. And at that time, he is forced to use some ointments. Do those ointments prevent water from reaching the skin?
