ANSWER:

No problem. 

QUESTION: Our ustadh has long taught our Islamic studies classes with sincerity, patience, and great dedication despite his busy schedule, and has recently refused any payment for his time and effort. We wish to gift him a sadaqah jariyah project, keeping it secret so he never knows, as a surprise for him on the Day of Judgment. Is it permissible to do this (sadaqa jariya) for someone who is still alive?

QUESTION: If one begins charity purely for Allah but later grows attached due to the honor it brings—so much that leaving it (if he is said to do so) feels hard mainly because of that praise—does this spoil the intention? Should he quit the deed or fix the intention? Is consciously correcting intention accepted in Islam, or only those that begin instinctively for Allah’s sake?
