When Permissible Matters Become Acts of Worship
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
If a person does not turn permissible matters into acts of worship, does he receive reward?
If he performs a permissible act without intending it to be an act of worship, there is no reward in it, except if it involves a benefit that extends to others.For example: For example, if a person feeds his family members for whom he is obligated to provide maintenance, he may not have the intention present in his mind, yet he still receives reward. Likewise, if he plants wheat or plants palm trees, and birds, animals, or people benefit from them, reward is recorded for him.
