Riya

Q: An ustaad said here in a sermon about the characteristics of people that have riya (besides showing off ibadah), kindly answer yes if any of this is true:

1.) If a person is always concerned about other peoples opinion, then he is not free from riya.

2.) If he has a desire in his heart and is eager to be praised, noticed, appreciated & admired by the people then he is not also free from riya.

3.) If he is always concerned about how to please people, then he is not free from riya.

4.) If he fears the criticism of (un-Islamic) people, he is not free from riya.

5.) If he constantly worrys about what people might think about him , he is not free from riya.

6.) If a person is free from any of the abovementioned, then he can assure that he is safe from riya. This kind of shocked me because I thought riya was just showing off your ibadaah to people.

Does wearing socks break one's wudhu?

Q: I did wudu by washing all parts including my feet. I prayed zuhr prayer and then wore my socks again along with my shoes, to join my office. Till Asr, I had my wudhu from Duhr, I just took off my shoes and socks and tried to perform my Salah with Jamaat. But the Imam was a Saudi. He stopped me that you can not pray until you do your wadu because once you wore your socks after your zuhr prayer, your wudhu is no longer valid. Please confirm, what is correct in this regards?

Doubting the meaning of a name

Q: My child was born on 20 January 2017. I kept his name Hibban as I found this is the name of a Sahaabi. But now when I searched the meaning on internet it shows the meaning of Hibban is 'having too much flesh, angry, outburst' which is not good. And somewhere I found the meaning is 'beloved one, lover'. So please guide me in finalizing the decision of keeping the right name with good meaning for my baby boy.

Getting effected by the comments and remarks of people

Q: I am a 23 years old Muslimah. I want to build up an islamic personality so that people would be attracted to Islam and I will be the zariya of their hidaayat. I try to be good with people but people try to dominate me and I feel that they respect me less. It hurts my self respect but I try to be nice with them. I am in such a dilemma. Is it my shy and soft nature? Am I doing anything wrong? I've read that one of Luqman (Alayhis Salaam's) advices was be not so harsh as well as be not so soft that people can eat you.
