Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: In the hadith, is there evidence in the hadith that the sins of seclusion (khalwah) nullify good deeds? Shirk nullifies good deeds and invalidates righteous deeds.
Answer:
This is major shirk, may Allah protect us from it. Also, oppressing people: if you oppress people, on the Day of Resurrection retribution will be taken from your good deeds for them. You may be left with nothing; some of their sins may be taken and cast into the Fire. So good deeds are lost either through shirk or through the oppression of people that was not repaid to them in this world.

The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) [narrated] that some people will come on the Day of Resurrection with good deeds like the mountains of Tihamah, and Allah will make them scattered dust,
النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم الذي فيه أن بعض الناس يأتي يوم القيامة بحسنات أمثال جبال تهامة فيجعلها الله هباء منثورا،Answer:
