Question:
If someone leaves off some good deeds out of fear of showing off, what is the ruling on that, O Shaykh?
Answer:
This is from Shaytan; this is a whispering from Shaytan. One does not leave off deeds out of fear of showing off. Good deeds, especially the obligatory ones and the fard (obligatory) duties, are not to be left off out of fear of showing off. This is from Shaytan. Likewise, the voluntary acts and acts of obedience. Rather, one should place reliance on Allah, desire the acts of obedience, perform them, and seek refuge in Allah from showing off. Yes.
