Question:
I ask Allah for you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: I am a young man who wakes up for the night prayer, and my colleague asked me to wake him up. The question is whether waking him from sleep falls under the category of cooperation in righteousness and piety, knowing that I fear for myself regarding showing off (riya') or self-admiration?
Answer:
Yes, this is cooperation in righteousness and piety, especially since he asked you to wake him up. So wake him up and leave the waswas (whispers of doubt); this is showing off (riya'). Rather, this is cooperation in righteousness and piety.
