Doubt Regarding Showing Off During Worship

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: If a person doubts during his worship that there is some showing off (riya') in his deed, is he required to repeat that act of worship, such as the prayer?

Answer:
Excessive self-criticism is a whisper from Satan. He persists in his worship and does not respond to the whispers, saying, "You are showing off," "You are such-and-such," and he responds to the showing off. He seeks refuge in Allah from Satan and continues in his worship. Yes.
