Bet Yosef 235:1 argues that it isn’t yuhara to repeat Shema since according to many rishonim one didn't fulfill one's mitzvah. This is also his opinion in Shulchan Aruch 235:1 and Mishna Brurah 235:15. Maharil (Mezuzah 1) writes that one should put up a mezuzah in every room in one’s house and it isn’t yuhara even though the minhag was to only put up one for the front door, since that minhag is completely incorrect.

##For example, according to Rav Schachter, it isn’t yuhara to wear [[techelet]] in a place that the minhag is not to because the primary halacha requires it.<ref> Rav Schachter ([[Yuhara_When_There_Is_a_Halachic_Imperative| Halachipedia Article 5780]], Ginat Egoz Siman 2) explained that since wearing techelet is halachically mandated due to [[safek deoritta lchumra]], there is no reason to consider wearing it yuhara.</ref>
