Question:
The Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, asks: What is the exegesis of the saying of the Exalted, and what is the correct interpretation of His saying:[Muhammad 47:33]?
Answer:
You invalidate them with showing off (riya'), do not invalidate them with arrogance, do not invalidate them with the things that invalidate. Yes.[Al-Baqarah 2:264]. Worship is abundant, and it is prohibited for a person to invalidate his deed, but if a need arises for him while he is in a voluntary prayer, there is no harm in him cutting it off, even in fasting; the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) cut off his voluntary fasting.
The Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, asks: What is the exegesis of the saying of the Exalted, and what is the correct interpretation of His saying:
and do not invalidate your deeds.
