TO BE SEEN OR TO BE HEARD

Doing any ibadah (i.e. not necessarily referring to only the act of praying) intentionally to be seen (to attract attention) and to be heard (to seek fame) is Shirk. Sheikh al-Uthaymeen explained that showing off (riyaa) frequently is Major Shirk while when it is done sometimes (occasionally) is Minor Shirk, as explained by Imam Ibn al-Qayyim.
