Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: I fear showing off in worship to the point that I do not pray in the presence of anyone.
Answer:
No, my brother, it is not permissible for you to leave off the deed and say, "I fear this from Satan." It is from Satan. Do the deed and be sincere to Allah the Exalted. Do not leave off the deed out of fear of showing off in worship. This is what Satan wants: to discourage you. He says to you, "Do not pray." Do not think that you are showing off in worship by doing this. Do not stand in night prayer out of fear that you will be accused of showing off in worship. Ask Allah for safety from showing off in worship and from associating partners with Allah, and continue with righteous deeds. Yes.
