Question:
This is the last question in this episode. He says: Regarding showing off (riya'), if I do a good deed and I fear showing off, but I do not know about it, is this also considered showing off?
Answer:
No, it is not showing off. If you fear this, it is a sign of your faith, because if you fear it, you are cautious. If you are safe from showing off and you declare yourself pure, that is one thing. But if you fear showing off, you avoid it and stay away from it. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah bless you and reward you, Honorable Shaykh Salih, and may He place that in your scales of good deeds.
