Carrying out an action thinking it to be good

· 7 Rabiʻ II 1439 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

If I did something with a good intention, and, at that time, thought it was a very good deed. If I later found out that it may actually be the wrong thing to do, will I still get the reward for what I intended and thought it was (a good deed)?

Answer

Inshaa Allah.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
