The ruling on leaving off righteous deeds out of fear of showing off
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: Some people leave off righteous deeds out of fear of showing off, such as leaving off the regular voluntary prayers in the mosque out of fear of showing off. He asks: What is the ruling on this?
Answer:
This is a whisper from Satan. Leaving off a deed for the sake of people is shirk (associating partners with Allah). And doing a deed for the sake of people is shirk. And the well-being is that Allah protects you from both. Yes.
