Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Sometimes when I am late for the first congregation in prayer, and I enter the mosque, I feel a bit of dislike for people looking at me. Is this showing off (riya')?
Answer:
No, this indicates good. It indicates the modesty that prevents you from being late for the congregational prayer. Yes.
