The answer

Humility (Khushu') in prayer is a praiseworthy quality with immense reward. However, prayer without it is valid according to the majority of scholars, though it is deficient in reward. Therefore, prayer without humility is sufficient. A Muslim must strive to attain humility as much as possible. If it is difficult to achieve humility due to medications, then perhaps one will be rewarded the reward of those who are humble. As for the acceptance of prayer by Allah Almighty, that is an unseen matter, and it is for a Muslim to hope for the acceptance of their righteous deeds.
