Question:
Is it permissible for a Muslim to leave off a good deed out of fear of showing off?
Answer:
No, that is from Shaytan. He says, "Do not pray so that you do not end up with showing off." Do you leave off worship? Do not leave off worship for the sake of Allah. Perform the worship and be sincere, and seek refuge in Allah from showing off and from shirk (associating partners with Allah). Seek help from Allah.
