Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Shaykh Salih, I mean, the one who has fallen into this deed of showing off, but he fights this showing off and strives against his self and Satan, what do we say about his deed, O Shaykh Salih?
Answer:
His deed is good, praise be to Allah, but it is diminished by the showing off that entered it; it is diminished, it is diminished. As for the showing off of the hypocrites, it invalidates the deed entirely. But the showing off that befalls the Muslim diminishes his deed and does not invalidate it, and it is minor shirk. Yes.
