Hiding one's deeds is more conducive to sincerity

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: I want to give charity on behalf of one of the deceased. Does it fall under showing off (riya') if I inform people of that charity?

Answer:
Yes. And rather, you should hide your deed, my brother. This is more conducive to sincerity. Do not inform people of your deed. Yes.
