Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He says: Shaykh, regarding the effect of sincerity in worship, tell us about the consequences that follow from it. And if a person does not keep sincerity in mind, does he receive any reward?
The Shaykh:
The effect of sincerity in worship is great; because it is the cause of its acceptance by Allah the Exalted. Indeed, Allah the Glorious and Exalted does not accept from deeds except what is pure for His noble Face. It causes him to enter Paradise through his sincerity and intention, and it causes him many good things.
The questioner:
If he does not keep sincerity in mind.
The Shaykh:
It is not possible that he works except while keeping sincerity in mind. If he works without sincerity, his work is rejected. Allah does not accept from deeds except what is pure for His Face. And in the hadith: Yes.

ادعوا الله وأنتم موقنون بالإجابة، فإنه لا يستجاب الدعاء من قلب غافل لاه،
