Is the reward for charities, seeking forgiveness, and other good deeds, the effect of which one perceives in the success of their business in this world, limited to this world and does it not retain any reward in the Hereafter?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
If someone performs a good deed, with the primary motivation being the desire for Allah's countenance, but also intends to gain worldly rewards such as an expansive provision or facilitated affairs, then their deed and its reward in the Hereafter will not be invalidated. However, their reward will be less than that of someone who did not consider such objectives.
