The ruling on showing off (riya') when it mixes with worship.

The Shaykh : So what is the ruling on showing off (riya') when it mixes with worship? The ruling on showing off (riya') when it mixes with worship is:
First: that the person commits a sin. That is one point.
Second: that his worship is rejected and Allah the Mighty and Majestic does not accept it. This is based on His saying in the authentic Qudsi Hadith: . Beware of showing off (riya'). Make your intention pure for Allah alone. Do not let it concern you whether people praise you or criticize you. Now, what if someone says: "I will leave off charity out of fear of showing off (riya')?" This actually happens. For example, he finds a poor person asking for help, and his apparent condition shows that he is truly poor. So he says: "I will not give him charity out of fear of... of showing off (riya')." What do we say? We say: This is negligence, negligence and a mistake. This means that Shaytan has overcome you to the extent that he prevented you from giving charity. Give charity and do not care. Give charity and do not care. If you give charity in order for people to praise you, that is showing off (riya'). And if you leave off charity out of fear of showing off (riya'), then that is abandonment and a victory for Shaytan over you, may Allah protect us from that. So do not let this concern you. Likewise, some people like to fast, they like to fast. But they leave off fasting for fear that it will be said: "He is fasting." They fear showing off (riya'). And this is a mistake. Then, if a person displays his worship in order for people to follow his example, he becomes a leader in it. - Pay attention to this point! - Sometimes a person says: "I do not want, I do not like for people to know that I am fasting." But if his companions and friends were to find out and follow his example and fast, is it better to conceal it or announce it? Answer, everyone. Announce it. Why? So that he becomes a leader who is followed in good and emulated. For this reason, Allah the Mighty and Majestic praised those who spend in secret and in public. He did not praise only those who spend in secret, but those who spend in secret and in public, because public spending may be better than secret spending depending on the benefits that result from it.
