Is giving money to a brother out of love or as a reward for a service considered pure hypocrisy? And is repeatedly uttering the Shahada due to obsessive-compulsive disorder in creed considered a schism with Allah and His Messenger? And is it possible to enter Islam anew without being able to utter the two Shahadas due to obsession with the Divine Essence?

Giving a gift to someone you love is not showing off; rather, it is legally mandated, based on the : "Give gifts, and you will love one another." Similarly, rewarding someone who has done you a favor by giving them a gift is legally recommended, based on the hadith: "Whoever does you a favor, reward him." As for obsessive doubts about creed, their cure lies in turning away from them and stopping the indulgence in them, as well as consulting psychiatrists. Delving into intricate matters and pursuing fatwas does not cure the obsessive person; it only increases their confusion.
