Is seclusion and hiding for worship to be condemned?

Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner asks: Is seclusion and hiding for worship to be condemned in all cases?

Answer:
The one who isolates himself from the Friday prayer and the congregation, saying, "I fear showing off in worship (riya')," yes, this is not permissible, and he is in the Fire, as Ibn 'Abbas said. As for hiding the night prayer, hiding the night prayer and praying in his home, that is good. Yes, hiding charity so that it is not said that he is showing off in worship (riya'), there is nothing wrong with that. Except if displaying the charity is better, so that people follow your example or they know that this person is in need. As for displaying charity for the sake of showing off in worship (riya'), this is not permissible, .
