Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: Many deeds, such as generosity, good character with people, and others, we love to receive praise and a good reputation for. Is that considered hypocrisy? And how do we get rid of it?
Answer:
It diminishes your reward if you have the intention of reconciliation but also have a love for such-and-such amount of money or for praise. This diminishes your reward and diminishes your sincerity. Yes.
