Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Sometimes I perform some acts of worship, but I doubt that they are acts of showing off (riya'). How do I purify myself from that?
Answer:
Sincere your intention for the sake of Allah, and the whispers will not remain with you. Satan deludes you and says to you, "Do not perform the act of worship so that you do not have showing off (riya')." Do not do that; perform the act of worship and be sincere to Allah the Exalted, and seek refuge in Allah from the accursed Satan. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you,
