What is the ruling on one who performs Hajj or prays with riya' (showing off in worship)?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh, he says: If one performs Hajj or prays with riya' (showing off in worship), is it obligatory for him to repeat the Hajj or prayer he performed?

Answer:
He is not required to repeat it, because he performed the act of worship in its form, with its conditions, obligations, and pillars. Since he performed it, he is not ordered to repeat it. However, he is ordered to be sincere and repent to Allah. He should repent to Allah from riya' (showing off in worship), and Allah accepts the repentance of whoever does so. As for repeating it, it is not obligatory upon him.
