Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : This is a questioner for the program who says in this question: There are phrases a person says, and among these phrases is saying, "Do such-and-such for the sake of my mood." Does this contradict the noble verse
Say, "Indeed, my prayer, my rites of sacrifice, my living and my dying are for Allah, Lord of the worlds.قُلْ إِنَّ صَلَاتِي وَنُسُكِي وَمَحْيَايَ وَمَمَاتِي لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ
[Al-An'am 6:162]
?

Answer : If this matter is not an act of worship, then it does not contradict the verse, because the verse is about matters in worship, such as prayer and pilgrimage. However, if it is in worship, such as saying, "Pray for the sake of my mood" or the like, then it is not permissible, because this leads the addressee to riya' (showing off in worship) and to praying for the sake of people. It is well known that riya' is a type of shirk (associating partners with Allah), and it is obligatory that acts of worship be pure for Allah alone. Yes. So there is a distinction here: if the matter is from acts of worship, then this phrase is not permissible; and if it is from other than acts of worship, then this phrase is permissible. Yes.
