Question:
The questioner says: Shaykh, is my prayer valid if I pray without khushu'?

The prayer is valid, but it has no reward. The reward is only in that in which the heart is humble and present. And Allah the Exalted said:[Al-Mu'minun 23:1-2] And in the hadith: Yes.
The questioner says: Shaykh, is my prayer valid if I pray without khushu'?
Answer:
The prayer is valid, but it has no reward. The reward is only in that in which the heart is humble and present. And Allah the Exalted said:
(1) Certainly will the believers have succeeded: (2) They who are during their prayer humbly submissive
قَدْ أَفْلَحَ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ الَّذِينَ هُمْ فِي صَلَاتِهِمْ خَاشِعُونَThe one praying gets nothing from his prayer except what he comprehends of it.
ليس للمصلي من صلاته إلا ما عقل منها.
